[KLUG Members] Question On Server and Enterprise software ( Happy New Year)

[Sanjay Chigurupati]

Hi,

Happy New Year to everyone.


1) With Linux, is it advisable to run ftp/ http or any server software on a
regular desktop?

2) If so, which are the situations in which we can use a desktop machine as
server and which are the situations in which we should use a server
machine?

3) Redhat and Suse come out with server editions like Advanced server ,
Enterprise server. Which are the situations in which they can be used? I
have gone through the site and would really appreciate feedback from a
person with experience on this.

 What could be the limitations if I were to use general Linux instead of
these special editions?


Thanks,
Sanjay

P.S: Thanks for all the help in the past
