Personally, and from my own experience, I agree with you. But my experience
is as a Linux sysadmin in Unix/Linux-heavy university environments. Maybe
there are places *outside* of my experience where a Fedora Server meant to
appeal to desktop users would be very successful. I'm skeptical, but I don't
know.
You dont have to know + we administrators ( yes I've been doing this as
my dayjob for the last 10 years or so ) work on deployment stories from
the field not marketing speeches.
If the need for graphical applications to either manage your server
service locally or remotely by connecting to server or server service
was there, an application to do so for it would have emerged by now and
it most likely already has or does on Android, before we can figure out
the transitioning an server application to server product process.
