First of all, thank you FernetMenta for your excellent guide! It really helps a lot, especially for Linux n00bs as I am.
I intend to run VDR as a backend on a mini Atom based server, so I need only VDR as server for the client(s).
What would be your choice of distro for this? I would like to stick to Ubuntu as most of the guides cover ubuntu as OS.
Ubuntu Server 14.02.2 LTS 64-bit
Ubuntu Server 14.10 64-bit
or maybe I should go with Lubuntu or Kubuntu (there I will have desktop too).
Many thanks!

I always install Ubuntu minimal and install required packages myself. For systems I want to have a desktop I moved from LXDE to Xfce which is used by XUbuntu.

Thanks! As a beginner, I'm a little afraid to start with Ubuntu minimal. And since it is going to be a headless server, it might be better to go with Ubuntu server then XUbuntu?
Will your guide work as is on Ubuntu server if I follow it step-by-step? After I have done everything in the guide, I add the channels.conf file, and on the client I install vdr-vnsi plugin, point it to the server ip address and configure everything from there? Now I can access the vdr plugins in PVR->Client Specific Settings, but vdr-server is the addon in Kodi.

you use strange expression for the various components, hence it is hard to follow what you mean. we have the VNSI addon which is a addon loaded into Kodi. And we have the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver plugin which is loaded by vdr. can you rephrase your question using these terms.
