Mac OS X "Tiger" Server Previewed
It also adds a Jabber server that provides the option of serving iChat. SSL/TLS and Kerberos can be added for security. A single Tiger iChat client can have chats running on multiple servers, so a user can be on the main iChat server, while having private chats on a company server. Because it is Jabber, non-iChat (and non-AIM) clients can participate too.
Tiger Server also works to make network setup even easier with Internet Gateway Setup Assistant. In Panther Server, setting up a network with DNS, DHCP, NAT, firewall, and port mapping was easier than most other platforms, but still required a good deal of manual configuration, and separate configuration of each service. The Setup Assistant will provide single-button setup of it all.
A Software Update Server can cache and control Apple software updates. So once you're satisfied that the new OS update won't delete home folders, you can OK it for your users to download; and they won't take up your Internet bandwidth, because the server cached it.
Mobile Home Directories allows a mobile user to sync his home directory with a central server, backing it up and allowing an admin to manage it.
A new Windows migration tool will allow Windows admins to migrate from Windows-based servers. Tiger Server can act as a Primary Domain Controller for a Windows network, and the tool will migrate user and group account from an existing Windows PDC into Open Directory 2 and Samba 3.
Tiger Server will retain the pricing structure of the previous versions: $500 for the 10-client edition and $1000 for the unlimited client edition (the number of clients referring only to simultaneous file sharing clients).
Dude- you gotta check out my blog on that very subject!
They should use monkeys, then the name supply would be nearly infinate. Gibbon, Lemur, Ape, Bush...
Banaaaana!
So we have, Lynx, Caracal, Serval, Ocelot..
How do you titillate an ocelot?
You oscillate it's tit alot!
Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, etc
How many felines are left? Even including "cat" and others, they are bound to run out, aren't they?
Maybe for OS 11 (OS X1?) they will start doing canines or something... Wolf, Coyote, Bear?
They'll probably just pick up a copy of O'Reilly's "Animal Naming Conventions".
Scratch Puma, that was 10.1. I'm kind of partial to thundercat.
Technically an ape is not a monkey with the most recognisable different being the size, lack of a tail and intelligence. The great apes include gorillas, orangutans, chimps. Bush would not qualify under this definition.
Tiger Server will focus on open source, Windows, and ease of use.
Kinda reminds me of the old joke: Good, cheap and fast, pick any two.
Weaselmancer
rediculous.
Finally, a 64-bit OS. Took them what, a year?
This is their new service so you can chat with people who live in a double-wide trailer. Kudos to Apple for finally making their technologies accessible to the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum!

.Mac has Eskimo Huskies ...dog collar.
That's an excellent idea. After, all, O'Reilly really knows its cats.
Building Cocoa Applications has a Mastiff
Cocoa IAN has a Irish Setter.
Inside
Learning Carbon has bloodhounds
Unix for MacOSX Panther has an Alaskan Malamute.
MacOSX for Unix Geeks has a hyena.
and MacOSX Unwired has a
Hey wait a a minute!

An alternative name:
Pussy Galore
I for one can't wait for OS X Pussy. Optimized for pr0n!

Just kidding, just kidding...!
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Last I checked, a Windows 2003 server license with 5 (FIVE!) client access licenses was about $3700.
I cannot believe you left off Steve "Monkey Boy" Ballmer!
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
No.
Solaris is the ultimate at eating my asshole while tickling my nutsack with your nose.
Read slower and take in more content.
Every. Single. Thing. That. Sun. Is. First. To. Implement. Will. Appear. Later. On. Someone. Elses. OS. And. It. Will. Be. The. Shit. When. They. Do. It.
Being first and being better doesn't mean one God damned thing in this world. Being first to make noise with it does.
Moot point anyway. Mac and Linux will get "x" amount of applause for doing it after Sun (which gets no applause because they're Sun and this week they're your Java desktop company, next week they'll be your "delivering streaming monkey fucking apps to your PDA through your bunghole IN JAVA...plus we make Solaris company)
And then a couple of years later Windows will add it but it won't work right, be shot full of holes, and leave a steaming turd in your mouth right before it reboots (courtesy of the NAMBLA.SteamingTrd.Trojan virus) and they'll still be lined up 2,000 deep to buy it because they read about it in "Windows Dominator Weekly" magazine which they get sent free of charge and their boss thinks is where you learn this shit when you're not in MCSE classes.
It just doesn't matter Solarisman. It JUST DOESN'T MATTER.
You'd think a fucking Solaris fluffer would know better than to debate the futility of being better in Windows world with a Mac user wouldn't you. Well, you'd be wrong.
You missed me.
Appended to the end of comments you post. 120 chars.
That Apple are following the naming conventions for Nazi armoured vehicles? Is this Job's final solution to the Microsoft problem?
So from now on OS X will just be referred to as simply "Pussy", iLife will become iPussy.
Quick to follow suit, MS will begin referring to Windows versions as "Dildo".
