A server interfaces you (and your machine) with the rest of the world.
It's just a high-powered, multi-tasking, multi-processing computer, no big whoop.
A server is a remote host and you are a client.
I run a server and allow only a few select people to access it. Why? Because it's my stuff, that's why.
By the way, this so-called CODE RED baloney is hyped crap. According to MS-NBC, nothing happened, and is in par with the Y2K scare (remember that one?).
Again, let us now praise the hysterical media. They must be on drugs. They should be spanked as well.
