Apple‘s Snow Leopard Server product is one lovely implementation of UNIX.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using it for the power and simplicity that it offers.  I’ve loved using Apple’s operating systems thanks to the combination of UNIX power and elegant design.  Snow Leopard server is no exception to this rule.
The barrier to entry with Snow Leopard server was lowered when Apple reduced the price of the product to $499 USD and offered an unlimited client version only. Â It was even more palatable when the Mac Mini server version was introduced at $999. Â Previously, you could build your own Mac Mini server for about $1300 USD, but this new model allows small developers and workshops to get into the product at a very low price point.
Rather than spend an inordinate amount of time trying to pump out information about Macworld 2009, I thought it would be more appropriate to soak in the entire show and let my brain stew on it a little bit. Â I twittered the keynote quite a bit, so that was me trying to play journalist. Â For the rest of the week, I intended to take part in the show and ignore the fact that I was collected information to share.
