Hi
I want to know if when we upgrade the desktop (client) version of some
distribution (like fedora) to its server version is equivalent to install
directly this server version?
There really isn't a difference between desktop and server in Fedora.
It rather depends on what you install.
My question relates mainly these 2 points: 1) Security, 2) The capacity of
the machine to answer several web requests.
If you don't install the desktop stuff (X, Gnome, KDE, etc.) and install
the various server components, then you've got a server instead of a
desktop. You could install everything, of course. If you change the
initdefault line in /etc/inittab from:
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
then the system will boot up to command line mode (NOT GUI mode) and
it'll behave like 90% of the servers out there, but you have the ability
to go to full GUI mode when you want by doing:
telinit 5
as the root user.
