Beginners are installing server systems as their first experience with Linux? I think not. Most people don't ever touch a server in their entire life. The closest they get to a server is a thin client. Any sane server administrator is going to set up a test system first, and probably on a desktop so they can easily mess around with it while they learn about the tools it offers.
