For 20 users I'm sure it works fine. Try it in an environment with 100 or more.
Are you using network home directories? How long do your logins take out of interest?
Anyone who buys into the OSX being "rock solid" obviously never ran an OSX server with over 100 clients. Take NetBoot for example - great system when it works, but has a tendency to simply stop working for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
If you want examples visit the Apple support discussions and look under OSX Server.
OSX Server is definitely a feminine OS. It does what it wants when it wants with no reason or accountability. You just have to accept whatever it decides to do and attempt to work around it.

I hit 90 hours per week for the month of September last year while cleaning up a Nachi worm infestation on a 2000 host network. At the time I felt ok, but towards the end of that month I started to feel very strange and started making positively stupid mistakes. For example, I was at one of our remote sites fitting a new ethernet switch that wouldn't work properly for some reason and during the process, thinking I was wiping the faulty switch, I'd managed to wipe the jobbing switch due to having my laptop serial cable into the wrong box. I can remember looking at it wondering just how the hell had I managed to make such a stupid mistake but at the time I was convinced I was resetting the right one.
By the end of the month, daily chest pains were a part of my life, but I ploughed on through. By December that year I was working on my own in a switch room being particularly annoyed at an OSX server that was misbehaving, and my chest pains started up particularly badly, but then the pain went to my arm and I went light headed. I remember thinking "WTF?" then the nasty realisation that I may be having a heart attack (I'm not old enough surely!). Fortunately I wasn't but it taught me an important lesson about stress which is to never ignore it. This year when things got hectic as soon as the chest pain started I took a week off and just slept. You don't realise how bad you've been feeling until you sleep for a week and feel great at the end of it. I can understand how Doctors make silly mistakes after this which is quite scary really when you think about it.
Be careful when working silly hours over a sustained period - it's not healthy.

Remind me never to go out drinking looking for women with these guys.
Seriously though - what's to stop someone shooting the attendants? Who would be legally responsible?
If someone shoots the guy remotely, is it technically suicide?

I concur. In my experience I've spoken to women about this and their biggest complaint? Getting too much attention from men they don't like.
All the time in my head I'm thinking... "But... you just have to not say 'no' and you get laid..."
...the fact that perhaps these people are so disgusted with a corrupt president that they resign, or the fact that all these (quite frankly dangerous) positions will now be being filled with hand picked people by the people who run that president?
(Well you don't think a fucking moron like Bush can actually run a country do you?)

Skinfitz says "Er" as information about his print jobs roll happily along to Lexmark. I suppose that's what most users of closed source software do.

...funny this should come up - I have a site which does exactly this.
It's very light and text based and designed to run on anything.
For Firefox and IE I've taken advantage of the way they handle javascript to implement a quick add button - you can be on any site and click one of your quicklinks to add the site you are looking at to your online links database.
It's a work in progress, and right now links can't be edited or deleted, but those features are very much on my to do list. If it doesn't do something you want just ask.
BT are lying theiving scum that have exploited the British public with their monopoly for years. This is an obvious gimmick (that will fail) to attempt to steal customers from other broadband providers.
Their ADSL service is fine up until layer 3, at which point it becomes crap. Their web service will only let you download two simultaneous files, and given half a chance they will cap your downloads. Service is unreliable. I have several remote sites using VPN's - one uses BT at the moment, and VPN is up and down like a yoyo.
If you want broadband in the UK and you live in an area where you can get cable, use Telewest (I have a 3Mb line which is 1Mb faster than the fastest BT offering) or if you can't get cable and can only have ADSL, use Demon.
Oh and don't use BT for regular telephone lines - they are overpriced.

...I have to point out here that there is a difference between "feminine" and "female" along with a difference between "masculine" and "male".
I know many masculine women and many feminine men. The feminine mind set is as I described. I was not directing anything at women in particular.
I put money on that whoever modded this down hasn't even installed OSX Server let alone run it.

It uses RFID?

Print a white page to the printer and see what gets printed 'extra'.
Does this look gothic to you?
Yes, actually ]:>)=
Ahh Slimelight. I recall when it had three floors and you had to take your own booze because they didn't have a license.
Them were the days.
Painting up a keyboard would be great for a (particularly goth) club DJ's PC - both in looks and functionality.
RFID is the bridge between your movements and those databases.

Incidentally I use a Mac for printing.
So what do you do when the binary uses an IP address instead?

Er...
Duly firewalled.

Bottom line seems to be that nobody is going to be switching over to MSN Search from Google anytime soon.
Wait until it's built into Longwait.

In fact, don't use them for anything.
Did they fix that little problem of the install process hosing drive geometry tables so that Windows won't load anymore?
Problem? That's a feature!
If this goes ahead, it will be in violation of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty which forbids the militarization of space."
Does America care? Who can enforce it?
I guess you are one of the 51%.
Don't start with that technical mumbo jumbo.
