“What is the point of Mac OS X Server? Mac OS X is Unix. I have Apache, bind, sendmail, (and whatever I want) already on here. My Mac OS X box is a server already, right? I have a home network with a half dozen Macs, and have a box that does some serving, and I want it do more. So, I set out to figure out what this Server thing is,” Pudge writes for Slashdot.
“Sure, I can read. I can go to the Mac OS X Server web site and read all thedocumentation for things related to ‘standards-based management,’ ‘share printers and files,’ ‘n-tier’ solutions. Yawn. I know all about this stuff, and I know I can do it already. If I am paying good money for this, it better have value I can’t already get for free,” Pudge writes.
