If all you need is a web server (no DNS, mail server, et al), then maybe you don't need the server version. OSX Server has a lot of interesting admin features that I'd be interested in hearing feedback about from others who use them... but perhaps you don't need all that stuff if your main need is an apache server... http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html I appreciate Apple is using some great tools for email: Postfix, Dovecot, MailMan, SquirrelMail etc.. I'd sure be interested in hearing if anyone is using SL Server's mail and DNS server stuff and if there are any gripes about the administration of those services.
