4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Possibly the Best Retail Server Available, August 16, 2001

Though lacking the extreme customization of Linux, MacOS X Server 10.0 enables even novice users to set up and administrate networked and web servers with ease, while providing a power UNIX-based core. Based heavily on FreeBSD, OS X server provides industry standard Apache web server software, Samba file sharing, a mail server and every other feature found in UNIX operating systems without the need for the command line interface. Furthermore, if you are feeling adventurous, or feel the need to get under the hood, OS X provides the same command line shells as linux and Unix. Plus, Server ships with Quicktime streaming server and Apple WebObjects support.

Despite what the other review states, OS X Server runs well, even on older machines, providing file and print services which are equal to, if not faster than our OpenBSD on Intel systems, or our Sun SPARC file servers.

Still not perfect, OS X server is very well put together and continues to grow stronger with every revision.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Great..., August 1, 2001

This review is from: Mac OS X Server Unlimited [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I bought this hopping mac would come up with a good server program for there powerful computers. This wasnt the case. I was running this on a dual G4 800 Mhz with 512 MB of ram on a T3, and it seemed very sluggish to anyone who used it. It was easy to set up, but there were not many opptions to customize your server. If you want a much better server try Windows 2000 Server, which is 10x better than this.
