I've read around that installing an Ubuntu desktop on top of an Ubuntu Server provides security holes and performance issues. But I can't find anywhere as to describe what security holes would develop from doing this? I am thinking of installing a light weight desktop such as Xubuntu. Can anyone explain further? What type of security holes? Do I need to be concerned?

All help is much appreciated!

It sounds to me that what you're looking for is an easier way to manage Ubuntu Server than strictly through the terminal. An intermediate step, in terms of security, is a web based administration package:
ISP Config
Zentyal
Ajenti
