Server core has been an option for maybe 7 years now though.

Use your package manager to update then...

    $ cat /etc/issue
    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l

    $ apt-cache showpkg nodejs | head
    Package: nodejs
    Versions: 
    0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_universe_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)

My package manager knows nothing of this mythical "bleeding edge" of which you speak...

Probably your best bet at this point is to use the NodeSource repos to keep up to date with the latest (stable) versions: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions

Or use nvm: https://github.com/creationix/nvm
