Red Hat is clearly mass-market oriented. However, they probably figure
they'll sell more to companies and geeks who are likely to put many
workstations on a LAN. So I think that historically the default Red
Hat configuration was geared towards a networked workstation rather
than a standalone home desktop. I don't know where the "server axiom"
comes from, though. I have too little experience with Mandrake to say
anything.
