The idea does not sit with me that apple would produce an application or set of utilities for network management that were not accessible my guess is that they are. If this is the case, could you imagine what implications that could have on blindness network administration? ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Blouch To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 2:39 PM Subject: Re: -- snow leopard server
From what I've read in the past the main differences with server are some nice GUI configuration tools and more services turned on by default. That means that with regular OSX you can do pretty much the same thing if you don't mind playing around in terminal a bit and are good with search engines. For web servers there is a common appliance viewpoint called LAMP or Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. The standard Mac already has all these things, just not all turned on, so there is very little in the web dev world you couldn't do on a stock Mac or MAMP setup. Macs also include an SSH server so you can ssh into another Mac and execute commands remotely. While all the users/groups/rights stuff would probably be easier with a GUI on OSX server, there is nothing preventing anyone from doing the same thing the old fashion way on plain old OSX.
