Then install the linux-server package if you desire.  Though I doubt 
you'll find much there that is of much practical use to your typical 
small business server.  We're not talking data-centre machines here.

The point was, there is no difference between the editions of ubuntu 
other than the default package selections. So start with what you like 
or are more comfortable with, and add/remove packages as required for 
the job at hand.
