SME Server is a server and should not be running any graphical shell (this is for desktops) as it will increase security risks. Why would you need this?

so install any virtualization sw on your pc/laptop (or, if you prefer, on your SME) and then play with a virtual machine.. I suggest you Centos (you'll find yourself at home with yum/rpm) and Ubuntu

Ciao
