Re: Dual boot possible?

I haven't tried it myself. It might not be what you were looking for. Using Yaboot to create a dual boot would be something to consider, although I see some negative stories on other discussion forums about Yaboot. I just entered two separate words yaboot and os 9.1 in Google. On http://www.creativepro.com/article/dual-booting-os-x-the-safe-way-to-explore-the-future there is a blog with some good tips and guidelines when creating a dual boot setup on a Mac. I guess I haven't found the silver bullet yet, but maybe it could be help you.

Installing a server is easy; on the install DVD there is already a possibility to install Mac OS X as a server.
