I agree w/ Jim Lynch... Ubuntu makes a difficult Server version, LTS or
not.   Why on god's green earth do server distros need to load (by
default) things like USB, dbus, bluetooth, NetworkManager, wifi drivers,
etc.... 

The differences between a Desktop and a Server are staggering...
unfortunately most distributions try to address this gap with a single
kernel branch.  

(Btw, I do think LTS makes for a great corp Desktop strategy)
