I am not sure what you're asking. The server and and desktop versions are certainly different, e.g., the server supports multiple CPUs and has a text-only interface.

If you are asking if it is possible to install the server and make it have the U/I, and other bells and whistles that are in the desktop version, the answer is yes, but with a little work. However, running the command:

   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
 or
   sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
or
   sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop
etc.

would be a good start. I always install the server version, and have created a script that installs the other programs we need.

Perhaps this answers your question.

My Edubuntu CD contains both work station and server on the one disk.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server is a "server only".
So yes my question has been answered.
Thank you, for the help understanding.
Chris.
