upgrade ubuntu desktop to server edtion

[rvt20s]

Hi Im completely new to ubuntu and this forum.
I currently have the desktop version of ubuntu on my laptop (with vista) and was wondering is there an easy way to upgrade to the server editon without having to remove ubuntu and then install the server edtion.
Also does the server edition look and feel like the desktop version.
Thanks :D

Server edition comes with no GUI,but in your case that is not important.You can install server by going to the synaptic>edit tab>mark packages by task>check LAMP server.

I persume following your method, will just install the extra features server has onto my desktop GUI version.
sorry for the noobish questions :)
