Ubuntu Server Or Desktop: Making The Right Pick
Ubuntu is currently available in both server and desktop editions. While both versions are capable of doing many of the same tasks, especially in terms of their ability to handle light-duty server applications, they still differ in a number of important ways.
For more information on the differences between Ubuntu Server and Desktop, and on how to decide which Ubuntu release is best suited for your company's needs, visit Matt McKenzie's recent bMighty.com blog post on the subject.

Landscape: Ubuntu Systems Management Made Easy
Landscape is Canonical's systems management tool for managing multiple Ubuntu Linux systems. Using a Web-based interface, it provides access to a number of tools, including systems monitoring; remote and/or automated system administration; software provisioning and update services; user account setup and management, and others.
Canonical provides Landscape as a hosted service; as a result, it imposes no additional hardware requirements. As a hosted system-monitoring service, the Landscape server is a proprietary product, although the Landscape client software installed on each system is provided under an open-source license.
Landscape is available free to Canonical's paid Ubuntu Linux support customers; other users can pay a subscription fee (currently $150 a year per node) to access the service.
