What our customer's say!

"Clarification on reviews", The only positive review on this product isn't FOR THIS product. No one installs server software on a laptop..... I've only talked to one person running 10.5 server with something positive to say. Any one else want to pipe up?

"Excellent OS", This OS comes loaded with new features. It made my old Powerbook G4 run slightly slower, but I am yet to install it on my Macbook Pro. The only problem I've had is my documents got moved from my documents folder to my applications folder, but that took all but 5 minutes to correct. This is an excellent operating system. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

"Rough at First, but running great now. ", When Leopard Server was first released, it certainly had some bugs. But any IT person worth their pay knows that you never install the first version of an Server OS after release.

Now that we are up to version 10.5.2, I feel like it's ready to shine.

The new Basic Install is great for those who are not really the IT person, but was put in charge of managing the server. The "On/Off" switches really make it easy to get services up and running.

My favorite thing about Advanced is the ability to see so many stats on how the server is doing under heavy loads.

And of course the best thing about a Mac OS X Server is the licensing. When compared to the costs of Windows server software, it's no comparison.

"Don't Buy This", I am a long time Mac fan and have been using them for 8 years now. I have used Tiger client very well.

I decided to move up to a server after I went to a Apple demo. The tech (an engineer with 18 years experience) got it installed easily so I bought it.

I tried to install this on a new Mac Pro system. Reinstalled it 3 times now with same results.

Called apple support. The first tech wasn't sure a Mac Pro was qualified to run it! He then took 10 minutes just to figure out who I needed to talk to. With their help, I still couldn't even boot the system with the install disk.

I am going to try and get my money back.


"YOU WILL TRASH YOUR SERVER!! NIGHTMARE!!!!", I love apple. I love Leopard as a desktop OS. I love Apple's server software.

I HATE Leopard Server 10.5 - at least as it stands now. IT IS BUGGY AND UNSTABLE. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

I have a Quad Xeon Xserve that was running a stable install of 10.4.11 server. I upgraded to 10.5 and that's when the nightmare began. My first two installs failed and destroyed my HD data in the process (ALWAYS WORK ON A CLONE COPY OF YOUR PRIMARY DRIVE). The next one "worked" but the resultant server was all but unusable, sites didn't migrate, MySQL wouldn't run, etc.

After hours spent combing Apple's tech support forums I wiped the disk clean and reinstalled based on what I'd learned. It seemed to work about 90%. MySQL was running, I had to migrate my sites by hand, iCal server & Wiki's did NOT work, but it seemed like a decent start. Then 48 hours in the whole thing went haywire, SMTP failed and could not be revived, the system logs kept rolling over every 5 minutes, etc. I was dead in the water for no apparent reason.

I rebooted into 10.4.11 and consulted a Unix Guru (Pterobyte, for those that know him) and he told me he'd worked on several Leopard installs - they typically needed 2-4 hours of work (at $225/hr) and even then he recommended against using Leopard because it was too buggy & unstable.

So I am running 10.4.11 Server, have lost about three solid days of time, gave up a bunch of sleep, and ended up returning the software to Amazon for a refund.

SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE. STICK WITH TIGER (10.4) SERVER UNTIL THE BUGS IN LEOPARD (10.5) ARE FIXED. THE APPLE FORUMS ARE FILLED WITH ISSUES, BUGS AND UNHAPPY USERS.

You're warned, be smart. If you business depends on your server (like mine) don't run the risk. At a minimum do NOT "upgrade" from 10.4 to 10.5 - do a clean install & migrate your data over. Or better yet, wait a few months until 10.5.2 is released.
