Hi Chipp, Using for my own Suse-Linux servers in production mode and OSX laptops in test mode, it seems me that an OSX server deployment is probably cheaper than the Linux ones.
Suse = two new distro peer year (aka about US $ 180) and a fine tunning need of the server by a security engineer (aka US $ 1500). OSX = one distro peer year (aka about US $ 130) and a simple tunning need of the server by my own (aka US $ 0).
