Robin:  They're all server versions if you start with the DVD -- it just
depends what you install.  If installing on a server which will be used
pretty much via SSH, there's no need to install any of the desktop packages.

That said, if you're installing this as a server for fun or for home,
then Fedora is right. If you're doing it for a production server with
revenue consequences, you'd probably be better off with CentOS 6.  You
won't have to be sweating updates every few days and big upgrades every
six months.  But, by using CentOS your Fedora knowledge (and the things
your fingers know how to type automatically) travel on the same path.
