How does Ubuntu Server + Desktop Packages differ from the Desktop Version itself? Is there a page somewhere that describes this?

I've used it to solve dependency problems that give apt-get and synaptic seizures. It works well in command-line mode, but if you run aptitude on its own (no options) you get a curses interface. > * This message has been copyrighted by me and is released under CC > license in keeping with the philosophy behind the Free and Open Source > Software community.

I hate to burst your bubble, but CC does not meet the free software guidelines: http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.html The main problem is the "Attribution" clause, which is not supported by the Free Software Definition since it imposes a restriction.
