What do you want to do with the system?  Is it to be a machine you intend to use
personally (a ``workstation'')?  Or is it to perform specific functions in the
framework of a larger network (a ``server'')?  These terms are convenient, but
they're not very accurate.  There's no reason why your machine shouldn't be both
a workstation and a server.

In this chapter, we'll look at how to set up both kinds of system.  You probably
don't need everything described here, so feel free to skip sections which don't
apply to you.
