Now if that were true then a lot of Unix admins would not have Macs
for their personal machines. If you're buying a machine to be a
mailserver then buying an iMac is silly. If you're buying a machine to
use and to administer unix server, then a Mac is a fine choice
(Probably not an iMac, a MacBookPro).
The question is are there things you want your computer to do outside
of the command line?
