[FX.php List] [OFF] OS X vs OS X Server?

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Joel,

Except that the server/web configuration is much easier on OS X  
Server, there isn't much difference. It's also nice that one usually  
finds OS X Server running on server-class hardware!

The biggest problem with OS X Server is the temptation to turn on  
other services like FTP since it's all there already. This has come up  
on the list before, and there was some disagreement on how much this  
affects performance.

I think it's safe to say that things like email and ftp are going to  
chew up network bandwidth available to that machine, which will affect  
both FMP and the web serving. So, if you can, keep it to FMP and web  
serving.
