[CUBE] OSX Server on Cube

[Erik Ableson]

I can't speak to the powerlogix upgrade portion of your question - much 
as I'd like to be able to :-) - but OS X Server runs just fine on a 
stock cube.  The things that you will notice are that as a server most 
of the performance bottlenecks have more to do with disk IO than CPU 
horsepower.  My machine is happily running my mail, web server, php, 
squirrelmail, several DB's and generally has loads of CPU to spare.

Now it's not really a very busy server all things considered and is 
only on a DSL line connected to the router via an Airport connection so 
that might not be a fair test if you're planning on using it heavily.  
It does act as my day to day workstation while I'm at home as well 
since it's got the nice monitor hooked up to it.  Basically there's no 
difference between OS X and OS X Server other than the bundled server 
management applications so everything depends on the amount of 
predicted load.

OT: Any of the european list members know of any Apple related job 
postings in France?  I just moved over here to be with my fiancée and 
would love to get back into a real mac environment.

Cheers,

Erik
