Hi,

I'd tend to disagree, sorry.  Apple used to sell Minis with Server software 
specifically as a Mac Mini Server.  I purchased a few of them for work.  They 
had two 500 GB HD's and no DVD/CD unit.  This was back when Snow Leopard Server 
was out and XServe's were still being sold.  Not sure if their stand has 
changed since then but I doubt it.  The new Server software is simply an app 
available from the Mac App Store so they likely promote it being useful on most 
Macs.

Later...
