I just installed Ubuntu server 16.04.3 and found out that it is command line based. Can a graphical front end be added so it is easier to use like X11? Not much in command lines since Dos 6.0. Thanks for the help, we are new to linux...

You can install the package ubuntu-desktop (that is the basic desktop environment delivered with the main ubuntu flavor) via command-line then you have a fully fledged desktop system.
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
The same can be accomplished by using tasksel
sudo tasksel
There you can chose packages with Space and when youre done selecting you can hit Tab to highlight 'O.K.' and hit Return. Make sure you only select one desktop environment.
Alternatively you can download the desktop images here and reinstall fresh if you not have much done to the system yet.
