I really don't know what is normally done. But since XP PRO is a
*desktop* install I seriously doubt that "Apache, Samba and a whole host
of other applications" would be installed at all let alone by default.
Home is a stripped down PRO so I would think, even more, that these
would not be defaults.

If I wanted a Windows server I would use Windows 2003 which *is* a server.

As for Linux? If I wanted a server I would install RHEL or CentOS or one
of several other Linux server installations. I would *not* try to run a
Linux server system with Fedora. It changes too quickly and too often to
bother with in the long run. Thirteen months of support before EOL
compared to 3/4 years is a no brainer.

XP Home and XP PRO are related. Home is XP without the office networking
stuff. Just what the name implies. XP for use by a home user. And you
mentioned it. Look about at your quoted section.
