This is definitely not true. The signal to noise ratio is definitely
anemic, I'll grant you that much.

So far you all where very helpful. A few conclusions can already be taken:
A
"regular" Ubuntu will use unnecessary* space with packages you do not
need for a server applicationYou need to install separately things like Samba, and a lot of other things that will be "naturally" present in a server versionBut basically there is nu difference between a "regular" Ubuntu and a server version, from a technical point view
I see forward to hear your thoughts about this.

This whole thing is really silly.

1. Can a Desktop version be used as a server? Answer yes

2. Can a Server version be used as a Desktop? Answer no

3. What is better about the Server version? It has fewer bytes of data
on the hard drive.

4. If you have a new huge hard drive then there is no reason to use the
server version.

If you require a GUI then I’d recommend installing the Server Edition then
installing Ubuntu Desktop with the 'no-install-recommends' option.


sudo apt-get install -s ubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends

will simulate the install of 'ubuntu-desktop' and show you what is going
to be installed, or not. The 'no-install-recommends' leaves things like
Open Office out.

You didn’t say what the 'server' is going to be used for. From my,
limited, experience of small office servers most of them are used as no
more than storage space, file shares, and maybe a print server. If this
is the case, then the minimal install from the alternate CD and the
suggestion from above may be all you need, along with Samba.
