Just to brain storm a little.

How about a common installation cd and then have desktop+live, server
+live, kubuntu+live and so forth as an extension to the common base?

Or an a similar theme have the iso generated on the fly letting the user
choose components on the download page?

Or just go along with the crowd and act as if ubuntu-server was a
different thing.
