I've never used a single-machine config here before, so this is why  
I'd never experienced installing for a single machine.

Not sure why you think Mac OS X is simpler to use than OS X Server  
though; for setting up websites, the OS X Server Admin is excellent,  
although setting up mail for OS X Server really stinks, in my opinion.

I've had terrible luck trying to set up clients on the mail server on  
OS X Server; I use it, and so do a couple of clients, but I tried four  
others to see how it would go, and 3 of the four couldn't seem to get  
their mail to work, no matter how long we tried.

So I use EIMS (Eudora Internet Mail Server) which is really easy to  
administer; it doesn't do true push email, but it does IMAP and POP3  
and is a snap to use, never crashes. Plus, it's not that expensive...
