          It doesn't matter. The difference between Ubuntu server and Ubuntu desktop is the default package selection. You can run common proxy software, like squid, on both.



          On the other hand - having a graphical environment on a dedicated proxy server does not matter either. You have to configure it using text files, and you don't need the graphical interface for anything. So the conventional setup would be a headless box with ssh login.
