While I already 'think' I know the answer. Is there any reason to use OS X Server instead of just installing the same open source applications from Fink? It looks like the only advantage is some nice GUI interfaces. I already manage several BSD boxes at work and am comfortable configuring things from the shell. Am I missing something or is there some real value to the extra cash it costs to 'upgrade' to OS X Server? Is there an connection limit with the desktop version? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

OS X Server worth it?

For PDC, it may be worthwhile to invest in OS X Server.
If you can do without PDC and just want to use SMB shares then I don't see a reason to invest in OS X server. There is no connection limit (outside of what you configure) for those services mentioned, that I know of.
