and created innovative management tools to make it easy to provide powerful standards-based server solutions. With over 150 new features, including centralized directory and authentication for Mac and Windows clients, Mac OS X Server is a comprehensive platform that is ideal for corporate and educational institutions. This 10-client edition of Apple's award-winning UNIX-based server operating system is the easiest way to deploy powerful Internet, network and small workgroup services. Mac OS X Server is available in 10-client and Unlimited-client editions to meet the needs of your organization. Client restrictions apply only to simultaneous file sharing services for Mac and PC clients. The Mac OS X Server 10-client edition is designed for small workgroups and Internet hosting services that do not require simultaneous file sharing to more than 10 Mac and PC clients. Cross-platform file and print services Native file and print services for Mac, Windows and Linux are built-in so you can give everyone access to storage space on the server and shared Postscript and raster (inkjet) printers. You can even host home directories on the server, allowing users to access their documents and personal settings from any platform, anywhere on the network. Per-user disk and print quotas allow you to manage use of network resources across your organization. Directory services and authentication Mac OS X Server features Open Directory 2, a robust, scalable directory services architecture based entirely on open standards. The integrated authentication authority uses Kerberos to provide strong authentication and single sign-on to authorized network resources. Open Directory also features integrated PDC services--using Samba 3--for providing Windows workgroups with login and authentication services, roaming profiles, and network home directories. Open Directory 2 can be replicated across multiple network servers for scalability and maximum service availability. Web hosting Mac OS X Server adds an intuitive interface to the open source Apache web server, making it easy to host reliable, high-performance websites. It features a front-end cache that improves performance of static HTML pages, as well as built-in support for collaborative publishing, database integration, and server-side scripting--allowing you to host dynamic content and sophisticated web services. Strong 128-bit encryption and realm-based authentication provides high-grade security for e-commerce solutions and intranet sites. Application servers With the built-in JBoss application server and full support for JSPs, Java Servlets, SOAP and XML-RPC, Mac OS X Server provides a complete solution for hosting Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications. It also features

Just a few of the things that make your daily life easier now come standard on Panther. Don't worry though, all of the old standby's are still there and work the same as in earlier versions of OS X.
This OS X is built on a solid UNIX foundation just like the others. The foundation provides a crash free workplace where you won't get any of the problems that Windows machines frequently succumb to just as you are finishing up a big assignment.
Another new component that more advanced computer users will find is the huge new devolpment enviornment that comes with Panther. All the developers tools that before needed to be purchased sepratly now come bundled on the install cd for Panther.
These great new improvements come at a big cost to the average user though. Panther required around 3 gigabytes (GB) to be installed on your computer. This may disqualify more ancient computers from being able to install this software; however, you do not need a fast processor to run Panther as long as you don't mind waiting a little longer for things.
To run Panther effectively with little wait time I reccomend a processor speed of at least 700mhz G3 and at least 10gb of memory and 512mb of ram. This will ensure that you will get the most out of the system. Keep in mind that you don't NEED any of this and any kind of Apple computer with a hard drive larger than 3 GB will be able to run Panther.
One of the biggest problems that most people run into is the fact that some programs do not work on Apples. This is untrue in Panther. You can find many of your email, word processing, internet, and other common applications on the Apple as well as some ones that will have your Windows friends wondering why they havn't switched over yet.
Overall this is an excellant product. From developement to packaging OS 10.3 is a great buy for anyone thinking about buying or who already has an Apple computer.
Advantages: Very similar to Windows XP Disadvantages: Very different from Mac OS 9
I use an Mac for work purposes and a PC at home. On the Mac, time is of great importance and every feature that saves time saves money and there are quite a few great time saving features on Mac OS X that do just that!
If you are a PC user and currently use Windows XP then the new operating for the Apple Mac will be very appealing to you. It is very similar in many ways to that of Windows XP. One of the main differences that Mac OS X has which is ... ...This was never possible in Mac OS 9. This feature is available by pressing one of the F keys at the top of the keyboard - I only found this out by chance myself.
The only real disadvantage is that it is very different from OS 9 and does take a while to get use to. I think it is an advantage that the Mac is now being made to look more like a PC as I think this will increase its popularity and maybe even PC users could now easily use Macs.
As with ...

Apple Works can seem slightly daunting at first if you are used to Microsoft Office, but you will soon find that it is probably easier to use.
