Rationale for choosing server/desktop kernel?

Hello

 

I've got two computers that essentially have the same hardware, but there are some small differences. When installing, one of them will get the desktop kernel and one will get the server kernel.

 

What is the rationale for choosing one or the other? I assume it is hardware related but what parts?

Thanks for the input!

 

Hmm, that's odd since both of the machines I'm working on come with 2GiB of RAM. free shows the same thing on both. No extra swap either.

There is also a laptop-kernel included so there have to be other rationals as well.

 

What parts of the installation is responsible for this selection? I'd assume it is possible to read the source code to figure this out.
