Actually, GNU/Linux has been focusing on servers for years, and still does. 
Look at what the main target for RHEL is. Or why Debian's release cycle is 
built around the "stable" release. Fedora has a strong desktop focus because 
it's pace of innovation is scaring server owners away (and yet, even in 
Fedora, there's a Server SIG), but GNU/Linux in general is primarily a 
server operating system!
