I have observed that contributors on this mailing-list have a tendency
to fall in two categories:
- those who try to understand what the original poster says in order to
reply in the most helpful manner ;
- those who try to understand what the original poster says in order to
find imprecisions and then forcefully educate them.
I get forcefully educated quite a bit, by being on this email list.
But, in my opinion, Servers can look like, just about anything.
For a few months, I actually ran a Netbook as a Web, and Email Server, under an old Ubuntu release. Kept it plugged in all the time, which worked against me, due to Battery issues, but that's another story.
I also hear stories about people, using Raspberry Pi Systems as Servers. Oh well.
