Yep. Therein lies the difference. The desktop install does not seem to include mdadm on the CD, and thus does not include RAID of any sort as an option in the partitioner, unless you go through the jackassery of doing an "aptitude install mdadm", after the CD boot. The idea come from <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461>.
Adding all the X foo to a server distro seemed just too messy, which is why I did it this way, instead. But really, no RAID on a desktop? Hello ubuntu?
