just to clarify your doubts. redhat, debian, slackware, mandrake, suse,
etc are all linux distros. they are all using the same kernel which is linux
(very obvious of course). its up to you which one do you prefer and
comfortable to use those distros. but in terms of performance and speed,
they are all the same because of the same kernel that they are using.
i noticed that you are confuse talking about server and workstation.
forget about linux first, lets define what is server and workstation. server
is the one who serve its service to the clients or workstations while
workstation is the one who get service from the server.
furthermore, there are two kinds of server. dedicated server and
non-dedicated server. well, dedicated server is already a self-explanatory.
a non-dedicated server is a server and the same time a workstation.
so in short, any OSes as long it serve its services can be called
server.
fooler.
