Ubuntu is distributed on two types of images described below.
Desktop image
The desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your
computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later.
This type of image is what most people will want to use. You will need
at least 384MiB of RAM to install from this image.
Server install image
The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a
computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user
interface.
