Hi,
I'm considering buying a Mac mini (standard one) for £499 and then paying the £13 i think it is to install the server OS on it. Will this work or will I have problems?
Only reason i'm thinking of doing this is because of the price difference to buy the mini with the Server OS already on it - its quiet a bit more month and I was wondering if the actual components vary that much i mean i know it has a i7 quad core processor compared to the i5 dual core and i know the server has 2 x 1Tb Hds, however I am considering buying one to use in a lab environment and getting more familiar with Macs as well as learning how to deploy images etc.
If I can use a standard mac mini, this will be great as i don't think I will notice too much performance issues (or i hope not) with running a server on it and deploying images.
Many thanks for your help!
