MacOS X Server is MacOS X with additional utilities to manage its server functions. It is not a separate OS. If there are things that you don't understand, explain what you want to do and then ask for help doing them.
 
lol maybe i should word it better...

is there a way to create a virtual osx server machine???? such as in parallels?
 
It would be nice from a development standpoint, or a database standpoint to be able to run another version of OS X as a VM.

I don't know any way of doing this besides doing a hackintosh inside a VM program.
