I would suggest that it be installed and used by default for a
''beginner'' install, and specifically asked about in an ''expert''
install.  I don't see the point in making a distinction between server,
desktop, or laptop, because an expert setting up a laptop might prefer
not to use NM, and a beginner setting up a server might need NM, or
might not even know how to configure a network without it.  (I know,
beginners probably shouldn't be installing servers, but they're going to
do it anyway.)
