On a related note, can someone tell me officially what defines an
install of Ubuntu Server?  I ask because this page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

says that 8.04 LTS has an EOL date in 2011 for desktop or 2013 for
server.

Assuming I installed it from debootstrap or similar pointing at
hardy repositories, does that make it a server?

Cheers,
Andy
