1) Why'd you have to go and kick off a religious war, Bill? :^) 2) Speaking as a guy who runs a mostly Mac shop, OS X Server could be a very powerful and useful server. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't get enterprise, doesn't really want to get enterprise, and isn't interested in improving their enterprise support. So you get security updates that break any perl modules installed through CPAN (because nobody would install perl modules on a UNIX server), open-source components that languish for many revisions without updates, and no way to virtualize the OS on a bare-metal hypervisor. None of those is a technical problem with what could be a very capable BSD-based server; they're all layer 8 problems, and thus seem unlikely to change until Steve Jobs retires for good, if then. -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!" -- Bill McKenna -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
