A significant percentage of the population fits that category - and not just M$ "Server" "administrators", some of the (self-described) Linux guru's on this list do similarly, um, eccentric, things - like install a desktop on a *VPS*. > >> Ergo, server questions are germane when posted here. Yes. Unless they are vague and useless, e.g. how do you run a server? how much does a server weigh? where can I meet a nice server? etc. > > I was simply looking for a lower bandwidth list that had a more > focused traffic. > "Server" is no less vague than "Desktop", or "typical SOHO" (apologies to the obtuse). There are a number of excellent online resources for various server needs - *if you define precisely what and how you are serving*? Otherwise you may find "debian administration" broadly includes more "server" than "desktop" - and there are several good forums for such.
