That's right, once it's running. During the initial installation,
there's one more difference: the standalone puts the various *.cfg
files in place, while the cluster installation only installs
templates which one then has to copy to the right place oneself
(because they need more editing). 

I would also recommend using the stand-alone mode as long as you
don't want to try leveraging multiple cores in your box by running
multiple processes.
