What do you think about using the term "Services" instead of "Servers"? 
As has been pointed out previously, the word server is associated with 
both "certain types of programs running on my system" and the "that 
systme in the machine room that stores my files".  I guess services 
would be less confusing for new users, and still recognisable to 
experienced users (Daemons is another less ambiguous word, but I doubt 
it means much to new users).
