    You will need to ask your VPS provider if they can provide you with customized ISO or Customized Template ... anyway most of providers doesn't
    -----
    Fortunately you still download some packages that enables GUI and a remote desktop package ( not sure what are there names )

    -------
    In the other hand ... Learning the language of SSH Server is better because controlling the VPS using commands will help you saving RAM instead of using it in GUI and Remote Desktop connections

    Hello nawwar, tks for your reply but

    I think no one want to use ssh to manage desktop version , my question is desktop, not for server

    Yes, my VPS provider can provide iso if i request

    I only want install desktop version to test and experience, not for work

    I will search google to looking for some info

    If your computer have enough RAM AND processor is good you can download a Visualization applications like Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/
    And you can run a operation system inside your current operation system as an application and remove it in any time

    P.S : I hope this is a good solution , because it's not clear for me what you really trying to achieve

    The above suggest should also be a great option if you only want to do some testing you can save a few bucks...
