Hi Raymond, Lubuntu would never 'by default' ever get into the 'server' area, as there is a server release. But, you, and others who do require some GUI to 'help' can....
Either: 1. Install ubuntu-minimal 12.04 LTS (this will give you basically a system that will boot, ready to have other things installed upon it). 2. Install ubuntu-server 12.04 LTS (this will give you tasksel and the ability to easily install all the 'server' stuff you may need, such as LAMP, SSH, firewall etc). Installing ubuntu-server will also give, via tasksel, the ability to install lubuntu-desktop. But, as your request for a 'more' server type area with GUI, I'd suggest that you Install lubuntu-core (This will give you the basic lubuntu without all the games etc). To get a better idea of the differences between 'desktop' and 'core', head over to minimal install[1] where you can view what is actually on the two options that are available. Please feel more than free to give it a try and let us know how you get on.
