In the restricted repositories, usually.
As for the installation: The desktop version of Ubuntu has a GUI for installing restricted drivers, you can use it. I don't know whether this comes with the server version as well. If it doesn't, you can install those packages manually.
You have to activate the restricted repositories, then install the
linux-restricted-modules-*
package suited for your architecture, then the
nvidia-glx-new
package.
You can install packages with the "apt-get" command. As you need root privileges you'll have to call apt-get with sudo in front of it.
The syntax would be sudo apt-get install <package> (without the <> of course)
In fact I really recommend that you'll read the basics, especially if you plan to connect this server to the internet with open services. Otherwhise you might get a compromised machine.
