Would it be wiser on the HP prolient ML350 G5 to run desktop ubuntu or Ubuntu Server? I am not familiar with the Server variant, any tips or ideas?

The desktop version comes with a normal GUI including graphical standard applications.

The server version has no graphical interface but is only accessible through the command-line. It comes with a few server packages preinstalled.

Unless you are familiar with the Ubuntu command-line and have a reason not to use a graphical desktop, there is no reason for the average user to get the Ubuntu server version.
