My MacMini server is really a 1.25 GHz G4 with a replacement optical drive carrier and adapter which houses a second hard drive which is for data, only. Mine is setup to run 10.4.11 non-server when in non-server mode and 10.5.8 Server when in server mode. I keep the machine handy for the very reasons mentioned by the O.P ... the need to retain "paid up" Adobe, Fontographer and other software licenses, which would cost an arm and a leg to update to an Intel Mac, or ... horror of horrors ...
