Re:mac mini server (Score 1)

Mac OS X Server is probably the only server platform I can think of that can speak LPR/LPD, SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS right out of the box!!! No additional software needed!!! Server 2003 won't do it, Linux won't do it without adding extra packages (at least not any of the distros I've installed). I have always thought the Mac is really underrated as a server platform. It's actually my personal favorite for file/print services. As long as the power supply is solid, I think the Mac mini would make a great home/small business server.
