How to check its Server or Desktop

Friends,

I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server 32 bit on my PC. Then I did the following as root,

Code:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade 
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Rebooted the PC and then installed the GUI by,

Code:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Now, I wanted to confirm that the original Ubuntu was Server, so I did the following,

Code:

root@ubuntupc:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntupc 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:28 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
root@ubuntupc:~#

And the above output has the word "generic" meaning Desktop version, am I right? I thought there would be "server" instead of "generic" in the output, since the original Ubuntu version was Server with no GUI and it was me who installed the GUI manually.

So, how can one actually find out that the original Ubuntu installed was Server and not Desktop after he installs the GUI manually? I have always relied on "uname -a" command to figure out the version.

Thanks.
