Thanks for the advice.. I'll give the server edition a quick poke, and install 
KDE on top. I am actually typically a openSUSE user, and since openSUSE 10.3 
and (K)Ubuntu came out at about the same time, I thought i'd give them both a 
fair shot, although I despise Gnome (mostly because I think the KDE 
Applications are more featureful, sure I can install KDE apps, but that is 
not the route I wanted to go.. Not to mention the lack of no transparency on 
the task bar (for chosen apps unless I do some different type of dock). 

Thanks..
