    Please will you kindly clarify whether each of these articles will work equally well on the Fedora Workstation as they would on the Fedora Server because for all practical purposes both these operating systems would have to be installed on different hardware unless you are prepared to get involved in the intricacies of networking in virtual installations.

  2. Yes, they will work equally well with the workstation install. Unlike MS Windows, currently the only practical difference between the workstation and server versions is the installed software. If you want a custom server with a GUI, install the workstation, then install desired server components.

    Windows, on the other hand, puts arbitrary restrictions in “non-server” products like limiting port connections, etc. This serves to artificially divide the the OS versions into the standard capitalist tiered pricing system:

    Level
    1)standard,home,chump
    2)Pro
    3)Server/Enterprise

    This structure is ubiquitous the proprietary software world, with sometimes fewer and sometimes more levels.
