    Question

    Question: What is the differences between the Mac OSX client and MacOSX server. I mean, I can buy the server now with, i assume, more utilities, appleshare ip built in etc. but, if Mac OS X is not out yet (March 24, 2001), how can Mac OS X Server be sold now???

    OSX Server has been out for a couple years already. (at least it seems that long!) The new version that just came out is the first with the Aqua interface (prior versions looked like a hybrid of OS8 and NeXT) but I dont' know what else has been added.

    Basically, if you need a server and want to spend $500 or thereabouts, get OSX Server, if you dont, wait for OSX Client.
    g4 400 AGP - 512 RAM
    10GB internal (dumping ground) + 60GB (30 GB OSX partition/30 GB OSX Server partition) - 3GB external SCSI (OS9/and I think the Public Beta is still on there somewhere) - DVD-RAM - ZIP

    The new one with aqua interface won't be out for a month AFTER Mac OS X Final release on March 24th.. what you can get is a old gui so you got a choice after March 24th..
    You should read the FAQ which is a PDF docutment at http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/

    later,

    OK, thats kinda what i understood from the apple guys at MacWorld Expo. Man was that interface sweet!! They also had a real nice interface to Apache, Mail, FTP, DHCP, etc. They are really doing it up great! Should be a great product from what I saw at MacWorld.

    I stand corrected....

    I guess OS X Server is then Mac's equal to Windows NT.....however a whole heck of a lot better..
