Tom proposed the following answer:
I'm sorry but why not try installing the OS you are not used to using
(Server Edition of Ubuntu) as a dual-boot then if it doesn't work 100%
perfectly the first time you boot into it then you will be able to
reboot into the old system that you kinda know your way around and kinda
works?

Wiping the old system out first means that you could suffer a lengthy
down-time while you study up on how to fix some issue, and then perhaps
another and maybe another.

Ok, this is a guide for dual-booting with Windows but i'm sure you can work it out to work with a different *nix instead.
