Information about host:

  • I have Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 installed in Hard Disk. (I don't use Windows).
  • I had installed Apache Server (I don't remember when). When I test on Browser with the 192.168.1.3 address it works.

Information about guest:

  • I have Ubuntu server 14.04 installed in VirtualBox.
  • I have Bridge Connection for Guest Host.
  • Lo 127.0.0.1, static address 192.168.1.10. Default-Gateway is home router: 192.168.1.1 for both.
  • When I test Apache server from 192.168.1.10, it works too; How do I know?. Because I had done some basic editing to the .10 file in /var/www/html so I could differentiate them.

Now, if I had installed the Server in both places (Desktop computer and on the Server):

  • I should use server as I assume is more powerful, but, wouldn't both get me to the creation of a dynamic website, administer it, edit it and so on?
  • What are the differences?
  • Does anybody know good tutorials I could use as a beginner?

    This is not a good place to "gather opinions". since this is not a discussion forum. – Pilot6 Jan 30 '16 at 16:56

There is NO difference what to use as a server. You can use either server or desktop Ubuntu version.

The difference of the versions is in pre-installed packages. The most obvious difference is that the server version does not have a GUI.
