The definition of server: A box, that SERVES/OFFERS any service. And thus, as soon as you have an accessible share on a Win98 Box, it acts as a typical server inside a network.
The definition of a server is properly only the program, and doesn't include the machine it runs on. With that definition, you avoid all these problems
Long ago are the times where a server was pure server and a client a pure client.
Was there ever such a time? I'd say all machines I can think of have some sort of client/server architecture somewhere in them, except for the very oldest, which had neither client nor server programs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
