The server could run a CLI and after installing, prompt the user to open a browser to http://hostname:port/ from a different machine. You could even add this as an option on the existing ubuntu-server installation in the additional software section.
This would work because the system admin who's trying Linux at home will be able to manage it. And it means the server doesn't have the overheads of running a desktop environment. So then that brings up the question of what web based tool should be used. Webmin isn't officially supported. I can't comment on eBox - I've used it once but don't remember it. The tool should still have options like hardware/software tracking, so whatever tool is used would probably have to be modified. And you would still need to figure out a way to make Ubuntu desktops switch to a domain system.
