Yup.

Since you're currently using your mini as a server with SL client . . .there won't be much advantage to actually loading server. Pretty much everything that server does can be done with client if you work at it a bit. That said . . .you could use Open Directory to setup network logons and have a single account that's good everywhere . . .as well as setting up portable home directories if you want to.

No real reason with you being the single user . . .but it does make things a bit easier I suppose. I'm still toying with whether to install it on my iMac server instead of just the client version . . .all I need is file services but Open Directory and Portable Home Directories might be nice.
