Thats almost how I feel about using raspberry pis as servers in general. Arent I better off with 1 computer, running the free Citrix Xen, that I can run ALL my servers on, instead of a closet full of raspberry pis to manage.

Just because you can...

Is this thing pronounced purge os? Even if its not supposed to be..

Of course you can also do that, but right for now 99% of people “all the servers” are exactly 0 servers. Even the concept of a “server” is foreign.

Maybe the first server most people buy is a home NAS or wireless gateway. Those types of devices should also be able to act as the host as long as they have pluggable storage.
