that would depend on what the distro is, and what qualifies this 'server 
version' as such.   for installing centos, which is often considered to 
be a server oriented system, although it comes with a full set of 
desktop components,  you'd have to be concerned with hardware support 
for you laptop's display adapter, network adapters, wireless, etc.   
many wireless network adapters have poor support on linux and are 
difficult to get working.

only you can know what your expectations are from an operating system, 
assuming it supports your portable system.
