Are you sure you want to start with the server edition? Sounds to me
like you might do well to start with the standard edition and get to
know linux better. I have never installed the server edition but the
others ask you what keyboard you would like at install.

This will install the tutorial book called rutebook. Read it and you
will find what you are looking for, I  think.

sudo aptitude install rutebook

Also google with things like "keyboard ubuntu" or "keyboard map linux"
and you will find tons of info.
