After reading through what is on Canonical's site I came upon this gem in the security section of the features of the Server Edition:
Quote:
No X server by design
By design, Ubuntu Server Edition does not include an X server. This is a deliberate choice as we believe that most servers should be serviced remotely, are safer without the addition of code that needs direct communication from user space to hardware, and should not be used as a desktop by their administrator.
"So I applaud the Ubuntu team’s common sense (and courage) in keeping the X Window System out of the default installation of Ubuntu Server."

If that doesn't say it I don't know what does.
