that does Ubuntu Server edition includes Ubuntu Desktop features also, or it has only server features. Like SUSE contains both server and desktop features in a single DVD. Cause i want to apply for Ubuntu latest version, but i want both in one dvd only. Or do i have to register for both seperate desktop edition and server edition.
Ubuntu server version does not include any desktop. It does not have any GUI at all.
If you want to add a desktop to the server then you will have to install the desktop packages from the desktop CD/DVD.

If you install the server, you don't get a GUI out of the box. You can install the desktop environment by using apt-get install ubuntu-desktop though. I'm assuming your server install has a network connection to the repositories.
