Inside Apple's Leopard Server OS
An anonymous reader writes "Mac expert John Welch, author of the widely read OS X versus Vista comparison, delves into Apple's Leopard Server OS. He and Information week have on offer a deep dive into what's known so far about OS X Server 10.5, which will be showcased at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Welch weighs in on Leopard's iCal, Wiki, file, Quicktime, and mail services, along with Xgrid 2, Open Directory 4, and 64-bit capabilities. What does it all add up to? His assessment: Apple probably isn't aiming at 'big' enterprises; just the same, Leopard Server is shaping up to be a great SMB (small and mid-sized business) product. Welch writes: 'For about a thousand bucks on existing hardware, or for the cost of an Xserve, you get a really solid server, able to support Web services, collaboration, groupware, IM, and file services. You can run it with its own directory service, or as part of an Active Directory implementation out of the box. It provides some features that due to pricing and/or setup requirements, have traditionally been reserved for big enterprises — in particular clustering of both email and calendaring servers.'"
...i wanna know: is it able to delete files?
*scnr*
There would be some lame "Kevin Rose is Steve Jobs bitch" comment about now. But it isn't and there isn't.
I have excellent Karma and I am not afraid to Troll it.
The middle-classes are insecure about their own needs. They will always bow down to the superior opinion of the professional. The lower-classes may be mocked as Kevin & Tracey, but I give you your suggestible natural tendency as a retort to the dismissal. The Apple and the Bang & Olufsen.
The Apple wasn't all it was cracked up to be until Mac OS X. The design of the original iMac is pisstakeable. The Mac OS X user-interface is pisstakeable too - the hint is the button on the top right and the sliding drawer.
The BO is pure German mimicry of 70s Italian design school mimicry or mockery of the coffee machine, I can't decide witch. It is Ferrara Roche material to me and the PC knows about the deep dark secret inside the Apple. Apple are motherboard shape changers for their cases. They are stuck inside Ikea cardboard box land too.
The middle-class expert bum lick tongue is on full display at any Steve Jobbypooo performance. Cringe. Bow. Cringe again and wince with pleasure. Angela kicks your boney arses now.
My girlfriend does give good BJs. I didn't know it was because of her mac.
