Having a central server is very useful. You can store *your* files on
it, your mail on it, etc, instead of on the computer that you use, and
they'll always be there. Then, you can try out different distros and
software on a client computer, without losing any of your personal
stuff.
Useful, also, for backups, especially a backup of a separate home
partition if you do change distributions often. You can easily set up a
separate home partition and include it, unscathed, in any new setup, but
having that backup is a very good thing.
