Which version of Ubuntu 7.04 is installable - the server version or the desktop?

Thanks,

After installing Server, you can apt-get install:

xubuntu-desktop

or

kdesktop

or

gnome-desktop-environment

Any comments other than KDE/Gnome eating resources? Xubuntu is probably best from a "low resource hogging" point of view.

Great thanks. I was hoping it was the base Server install because thats what I want. Just enough to host Python, PostgreSQL and CherryPy and no visual pieces (ie: Gnome, etc).
