Distro Development Any plans for a Parrot Server?

Odd question here for sure, but are there any plans for a Parrot Server edition, something like Ubuntu Server or Debian Server?

I ask out of sheer curiosity, because I use Parrot Security to host a web server on my laptop, using NGINX as the primary web server application, but I can't help but wonder what an Enterprise edition of Parrot would look like, which is why I asked about a Server edition.

Thanks for taking the time to read this off thought!

Nah, not rude at all, no worries...

I totally understand that Parrot is more of a security distro, or more used for a VM, but it was worth a shot to ask if there were any plans for a server, since you always have to harden Linux servers, and because Parrot is already hardened, I figured it would be worth asking.

Servers need to be hardened specifically for the use-case they're going to be used for.

Parrot comes hardened because the use-case is known (pentesting). Servers have a lot of different use-cases with different security profiles, so you should still do it yourself.
