If you are using your computer mainly in a server role, I recomend you use the server edition:

if you want to setup a web server the Server Edition would make sense. you should consider a look at Debian. Its more stable in general than Ubuntu( which is based on Debian).
good luck

in looking at the server edition i see there are 2 versions

1) desktop
2) server addition

and for 2 computers

server version and the 64 bit versions?

yes the server version should go with you
if you take the 64bit or the 32bit version depends on your machine but usually modern computers have a CPU with 64bit. if you run a server, the 64bit bandwidth could give you a good performance boost. if you dont worry about perfomance take the 32bit version because the disadvantage on 64bit is many programms can be only run with 32bit CPUs. but i dont know what you want to run on your server.

i have been told by my development team we need 64 bit 'threading'

so this is the way to go

thank you
