I am very new to the Unix operating system. Is there such a thing as a Unix Server operating system vs a Unix Workstation operating system, just like there is a difference between Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation? If so, what are the differences?

depends on who you buy your unix from! I use SCO Openserver and they have a desktop product which is single user and an enterprise product which is multiuser and a host product which is multi-user but not for networks. The desktop product is cheaper. As to difference follow these links :-

It depends on how you are configuring. Unix workstation is an intelligent client. If you take a standalone workstation ie., which talks over the network but it does not contain any harddrive. It just contains the cpu and removable medias.

There is a hole bunch of stories. Every thing depends on what kind of hardware you are using and how you are configuring as well as different installation types.
