When some people say 'server', they mean a mission-critical machine  
that does important stuff and needs to be secure, stable, and managed  
according to security protocols.  Other people use it to refer to a  
fairly generic machine that they store their files and play with  
apache on.  Both are valid definitions, but Gentoo only makes any  
kind of sense on one of them. :)
