I assume you are asking the question in the same sense that Microsoft has= =20 2000 for workstations and 2000 Server for servers. FreeBSD does not have a= =20 separate workstatio and server software ... it is all in the way you=20 configure it and what software you have installed. That being said, there are multiple versions of BSD. FreeBSD and OpenBSD.= =20 OpenBSD focusses more on security, but both can be run as a server or=20 workstation. Linux is the same way. For example, although Ubuntu Linux is geared for the= =20 desktop user, you can always install all of the necessary software to turn= =20 it into a server and remove all of the user end stuff. Selling a seperate workstation and server is just a way for companies like= =20 microsoft to make extra money on their software.
