Should I choose workstation or server install?

[nogi]

Hi there,

I'm about to install redhat linux 7.1 on my computer which has 2 partitions - one with windows xp and one which should be used for linux. I understand that if I choose 'server installation' that all partitions will be erased. So I only have the option of 'workstation installation'. The reason I would like to install linux is, however, that I plan to get my own linux box for web hosting, with root access etc. So my question is, would I learn sufficient linux from a 'workstation installation' as a preparation to get my own dedicated linux box?

Thanks
John

You should check on RedHat's web-site... I seem to remember that the server installation would delete everything on the hard-drive.
