Hardware and software support doesn't really matter for a server.  All the
server administrator will care about is how many HTTP, netbios, NFS, et cetra, 
connections the OS can juggle without losing speed.  It's not a problem if the 
OS only supports two currently produced video cards.  As for applications, all 
that matters are the server daemons.

But on the other hand, I don't run an 'e-Business' server at home.  Being able 
to find supported, quality, wordprocessors (and other applications) that work
is far more important to me than how many HTTP requests Warp Server can handle 
in a minute.
