Well... If you are comfortable with UNIX, I would stay with UNIX for
servers at least... UNIX is very nice (if you close up the security holes
in it). Mac servers are inherently secure, but can't handle the load
that UNIX machines can. I would say a G3 Mac server could handle the
same load as an NT machine... But it will do it a lot more gracefully.
:-)
But... when MacOS X comes out, THEN it will be something really cool.
MacOS ease of use/stability combined with UNIX core. So you can do your
stuff via a GUI Mac interface or drop to a BSD shell and do it there if
you want. Should be interesting...
MacOS Server 1.0 (or whatever it's called) should be out in a month or
so, and it runs on the Intel platform... Although, I think that a lot of
general problems with Windows and Intel machines is hardware, so I doubt
it would be totally seamless.
Who knows... {shrug} Don't listen to me, I'm just a programmer. :-)
