Apple Xserve Is a Tasty Server

摘要

Iapproached Apple's Xserve with some trepidation. I hadn't touched a Macintosh in years, and the idea of an Apple server was as foreign to me as sushi once was. However, after testing the Xserve, I found that my experience with the product was a lot like my experience with raw fish―I liked it. The Xserve is a worthy little machine that's easy to manage, configure and install. You should consider the Xserve if your company supports a small complement of Macintoshes, or if you're a small office that needs a centralized file server and/or departmental server. Compatibility-wise, the Xserve is comparable to Intel and Sun boxes―except it's easier to use. The simple procedure for applying patches and updates to the Apple's OSX 10.2 is refreshing.
