The only difference between a server and a desktop is usage. Server distros will generally configure by default with.different defaults. Therefore, use the desktop version since that is the.primary.purpose of the machine. Share your printer, add samba, and your brother should be able to print to your printer.
Ad for Ubuntu for the less technical... I know a 70 year old in Goodyear that prefers Ubuntu over Windows 7.
Just saying

I suppose it is a good thing my drive decided to go kaput now if I need to put the server version on.On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Michael Havens <bmike1@gmail.com> wrote:
My dad gave my brother his first computer. He doesn't have a printer so he will have to use the one in my room. Should I put Ubuntu Server on my computer or just the standard Ubuntu? My brothers computer will be Windows XP (he isn't computer literate enough for Linux, nor does he desire to be).
