Yes, note that nothing server-centric is really opposed to being client 
or desktop oriented as any machine may need to provide a mix of services 
while running as a client itself.  Consider a single machine acting as a 
server for LTSP thin clients and/or multiuser freenx sessions as an 
example. It would likely provide dhcp/dns/http/ftp/samba/nfs/email and 
perhaps act as a nat internet gateway, but it still needs all desktop 
functionality for multiple users.
