I've never used the server edition but I'm sure it doesn't come with X
The Desktop version would probably need more configuration disabling the
desktop features
and would take more HDD space up
Quote form the website "On the desktop you have a full set of
productivity, internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games.
On the server you get just what you need to get up and running and
nothing you don't"

Hello there,
I am about to install an Ubuntu server on a virtual setup and I am
wondering
whether anyone who has had experience with setting up Ubuntu servers
can give opinions on
whether it is better to just install a desktop version and install what
is required or install the server version?
- Does the server version just exclude X or is there a some
other stuff that it offers for a production server?
- Does Ubuntu server offer server set-up tools that I should know
about?
- Would the desktop version be a big problem for a server?
