Policy Behavior for clients in Unassigned group?

Lestat

I am running Sophos Enterprise Console 4.0.0.2362

If a client belongs to the "Unassigned" group in the Enterprise Console, which Policies are applied to it?  The "Default" policies?  Or something else?

What if I take a client from a Group that has policies defined and move it into the "Unassigned" group?  What settings will the client then have?  Does it keep the policy settings from it's original Group or does it "forget" them since it now belongs to the "Unassigned" group?

    I guess I want to know what settings a client will use if it is installed by manually running setup.exe from the CID folder.  I assume they will just use whatever the default settings are for a standalone installation (?)

    I'm trying to wrap my mind around what happens when I install Sophos on linux clients.  They don't appear to be able to update themselves.

    I know for Windows machines, when manually running setup I can specify a Group for the Client machine to add itself to.  I don't immediately see that option for Linux clients -- does anyone know if it exists?

    To make things 'worse' for my testing, I have found that if I delete a computer from the Enterprise Console, if I then reinstall the client on a computer it re-appears in the Enterprise Console under the same group I deleted it from (instead of the "Unassigned" group as I would expect)?   So I'm not sure what settings are preserved when a computer is "deleted" from the Enterprise Console.
