if somebody wants to run a dns server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run a web server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run a ftp server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run a mail server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run any combination of the above, do it on a
client.
if somebody wants to share files with another computer, buy osx
server.
That's fairly simplistic.
that's the message Apple server tech support gave me.
the only things server is for are:
a fancy user interface to the core functionality already existing
in the client machines
the ability to share files with other mac computers (something
taken away from client machines with the shift from os9 to osx)
a watchdog timer that restarts services that were supposed to be
running but for some reason shut down
That's exceedingly simplistic.
