By all means run the same /distro/ but there's no reason to limit your
desktop experience by restricting yourself to the constrained s/w
choice of a mill-control machine: realtime, elderly kernel etc.

I'd suggest you update the desktop machines to the full current
release & the latest kernel, which is probably something like
linux-generic-lts-backport-precise by now.

Better still, go to 12.04. It's a lot nicer, IMHO; if you don't like
Unity, either install Maté or run Notalinux -
