Hello!
I don't think that LL was designed in mind of ever offering a server version. To do so would go beyond the intended scope of the project.
A server version that is easy to set up and configure would certainly be GREAT, but the focus here is on inexperienced users, and setting up servers is more of an advanced skill. Therefore, I, for one, don't see such a 'can of worms' being opened by this distro's development team. To do so would only serve to adversely affect their ability to support their 'target audience'. Many a distro has died because they tried to become all things to all people.
One could always add server components to ANY Linux distro to tailor it to their specific needs. The worst thing that could happen if someone gets it wrong is to have to reinstall the stock version. I have posted more about the subject here:

Speaking of 'different purposes', what I'D like to see is LL as its own DE (desktop environment) that could be added to a stock Ubuntu (or Ubuntu Server). I like using multiple DEs, and LL as it is just doesn't 'play ball' very well in an environment where multiple DEs are used.
Who knows? Out of boredom, I may try to set up an LL server one day. When I do, I'll document it here...
