texte = Donovan,If you're building a server in the literal sense, you must use Applehardware if you want to run OS X. I would recommend a G4 with at least 512MBRAM.If your primary concern is cost, go with Linux. I think you'll probably wantknow a little something about linux/unix before taking this route.If your primary concern is ease-of-use, go with OS X. It's extremely stable.In nearly a year of constant use, I haven't crashed either of my OS X boxes.Plus, you could grab an Apple Xserve blade server with OS X Jaguarpre-installed and be up-and-running in no time!On 9/25/02 1:56 PM, Donovan
