This is the first time it occurred to me Xubuntu and Kubuntu might be somehow unofficial. I'm not plugged into the Ubuntu community, so figured the flavors were offered by Canonical.

Why is the server version so supposedly demanding if you can install it without X/Wayland? Or can't you?

For instance, I installed Xubuntu on an ancient laptop (reluctantly ensured it was 64-bit, but that's it) recently and everything's fine.

I wasn't told by the installer to watch out or have apt choke or anything.
