Setting Up A Site Server with Jaguar
rgraham writes "James Duncan Davidson (the original author of Apache Tomcat and Apache Ant) has an article over at O'Reilly's MacDevCenter that walks you through the steps of not only getting Apache up and running on 10.2 (pretty simple, I know) but also DNS and Mail. The aricle goes along well with Alan Graham article on how to setup your own .Mac type service."
I personally understand people who use Macs a desktop computers/workstations. At least not everyone has that thight grip at technology and therefore it better for some people to use easy-to-use computers.
But why use them as servers ?
Admins should have a clue how to use computers and therefore shouldn't be dependable on easy-to-use interfaces.
Standard server system are much cheaper even with the obligatory redundancy stuff.
Sorry, but I don't see the points for Macs.

Can use your $3,000 mac to replace a 100 dollar a month service. It will pay for itself in only three years. By then it will be obsolete anyway... never mind it already is obsolete.
You know, the rest of us use old Pentiums to run in house webservers. In fact, I've even done it on a IIci running NetBSD.
Did you all just realize that the internet comes from servers and not from AOL? Beauler? Beauler?
