To me, I would expect to see something like the following, where the default
highlighted option is the common case:

  Ubuntu CD:
    **  Install on a laptop or desktop  **
        Install on a server

  Edubuntu CD:
    **  Install on a central server         **
        Install on a laptop or workstation

  Ubuntu Server CD:
    **  Install on a server                 **
        Install on a NUMA high-end system

If the work 'desktop' I would like to see 'laptop' in there aswell becauase
(particularly for Ubuntu) this represents a big market square and as time
goes on, the percentage of consumer machines that are laptops is increases.  
This shows that Ubuntu *does* support laptops, right out of the box.
