The important portion of the FAQ is the first line:

> Server Fault is for Information Technology Professionals needing expert answers related to managing computer systems **in a professional capacity**.

For more clarifying information relating to 'professional capacity', see this M.SF question:

http://meta.serverfault.com/questions/1760/server-fault-is-for-system-administrators-in-a-professional-capacity

Linked from this [meta-tag:faq]-tagged question, is another question which seems relevant here:

http://meta.serverfault.com/questions/742/why-was-the-question-on-dev-server-setup-moved-to-su

It was determined very early on in SF's life that dev-server setup/maintenance/whatnot was Off Topic, which was soon expanded to include home-servers (which are often dev-servers too). 

What distinguishes SF from our similarly scoped brethren (Unix & Linux, Ask Ubuntu, DBA, and of course Super User) is that we're about problems that come up *in the workplace during the normal execution of our paid-for-doing-this duties*. This is not an immediately obvious division of scope, which is why we put it in the very first line of the faq, **in bold letters**.
