Surely you do not install X on a server.... I don't get your comment

He thinks they're installing the Ubuntu Desktop edition on a server.

Aren't those the big selling points of Ubuntu - graphics drivers and unity? Both of which as you say are irrelevant on a server, I agree.

On the desktop you bet, it beats Windows for me. On the server, check the other comments, LTS and the ability to run newer stuff but still be very stable. I really don't see why you're having an issue, Ubuntu Server is plain and works well.

X/Unity/Graphics Drivers are not installed on Ubuntu Server by default.
