If I intend to use Hadoop is there a difference in 12.04 LTS 64 Desktop and Server?

Sorry for such a Newbie Question, but I'm looking at installing M3 edition of MapR the requirements are at this link:

http://www.mapr.com/doc/display/MapR/Requirements+for+Installation

And my question is this, is the Desktop Kernel 64 for 12.04 LTS adequate or the "same" as the Server version of the product? If I'm setting up a lab to attempt to install a home cluster environment should I start with the Server or Dual Boot that distribution?

My assumption is that the two are the same. That I can add any additional software to the 64 as needed.

Can anyone elaborate on this? Have I missed something obvious?
