It will not make a difference if you install your system as a 
workstation or a server. If you are installing nessus from RPMs (which I 
assume the distro is using due to the high version number) then the 
necessary dependencies will be fulfilled automatically. Also just a FYI 
Linux 9.0 does not exist maybe Mandrake 9.0 which is a distribution for 
GNU Linux. Linux version numbers are of the format x.x.x for example 
2.4.21 or 2.6.0 something along those lines, which in turn refers to the 
kernel and not the software you are using.


Hope this helps,

Scott
