Well, up to FC6 (current release), there isn't two different versions. Those choices just preselect what packages are installed by default. If you install the Apache webserver, you get the same Apache webserver, whether you're starting off with a desktop or server default set of packages. Likewise for other choices, you get the same things. The choices just preselect what some people considered were good defaults for a server (file serving, web serving, mail, and whatever), versus what was probabaly good defaults for a desktop box (office software, mail clients, web browsers, etc.). -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
