texte = Hello Donovan! First, you would have to consider a dual G5 from eBay. Be sure to use apache 2.0 (WebDNA will not run with 2.2) hardware is top quality, and a dual G5 offers plenty of power and speed. Personally, i do not like the interface, but it will allow you to do the basic. The mail server is not the best you can find neither, but it is easy to run whatever you want. Working from Terminal is the way we are using our Xserves, but maybe Leopard changed lot of things, i do not know. As for reliability and stability, it is excellent!. Mail me if you have specific questions. take care, chris On Oct 31, 2007, at 16:02, Donovan Brooke wrote: > Hello!
