I never said server machines can't run client applications. But the
term "server" has always referred to machines who's main purpose is to
provide services to other machines (clients).
As I said - it has been that way for the more than 40 years I've been
involved in computers - dating way back to arpanet and before. And it's
Linux users who are attempting to redefine the term to what they want it
to mean.
The Sun 3/280 rack-mount server ran the same OS as the 3/60 pizza
box. But they could *do* the same things.
Even if your SFF box "only" has a 100GB disk, 1GB RAM and a 1-core
32-bit CPU, that's still not-to-long-ago's server-class specs, and
*definitely* *can* run exim4-daemon-light without breaking a sweat.
