No need to add OS X standard as OS X server is a standard install of OS X with the Daemons accessible to the uninitiated and some administrative software. So it still behaves as per OS X just a bit more fruit to access if required, as OS X standard can be employed to behave as OS X server if initiated. Rob, I'm not entirely sure about this but there's definitely enough code available in the MacOS X client version. as I have modified the client version before so I could run it in VMware. The server version can be used as a desktop machine, I have numerous installs at premise and for others. Where machine is the OS X server and desktop for which they utilise as per everyday computing with OS X. Not exactly as it should be used, a little more tedious to secure as services can be activated, and a firewall with definable variables. But will install with everything closed off and possible to function as a desktop without much being accessible. At home our Mac-Mini Server is our iTunes Library, Plex, and Front Row whilst being the OS X server device. Before this we had a Mac-Mini which I activated daemons so it does act as per server a lot more work but very much possible. Daemons are in the install just not accessible through GUI, administrative software missing also but available through other outlets if look-create.. OS X is just another unix install with amazing Graphic Layer (Aqua) and attempts to hide some of the backbone. As with most binary installs it is all there just finding relative parts and how to utilise or what to utilise is a bit difficult. OSXFAQ - Technical News and Support for Mac OS X It is a vast universe of possibilities, not all perfect as Apple have stomped on many egos, but it is a universe I am comfortable traversing.
