Mike, I think Frank's response was to identify all the different server components that do exist on Fedora. Fedora is a full-featured distribution containing lots o' OSS (Open Source Software). Your choice of "mode" may not evoke your meaning. There is no particular "mode". It is really more a question of what packages you choose to install either during the initial installation, or afterwards with tools like yum.... Of course, you will then need to continue down the path of "configuring" the packages that you have installed. Many of us on this list, though, have found the rapid pace of Fedora to be wonderful for desktop use since I always gain asking to bleedin' edge hardware support. On the other hand, my servers tend to be a little more static and I prefer a distribution that is not quite so rapid. For server use, if I need support I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but in situations that cannot afford that, I use CentOs (a RHEL rebuild sans support). Those distributions live in the same universe as Fedora but are less rapid in their "changes"....
