During installation of the server version you usually select a role for the server (or not) e.g. LAMP, mail, print, samba etc. You don't get a GUI and typically administer it via CLI over SSH. Nor do you get all the other guff that comes with a desktop version, so in some respect it's relatively clean. You can then add a GUI if you so wish. Each to their own, depends on what *you* want to do with it. -- Colin Fee [email protected]
