I think that the difference between Client OS X and Server OSX is that the AFP file server in client is limited to only 10 connections, and it does not support mapping home directories to remote clients. As a file server alone, though it should work, and there are no limitations on SMB shares. Postfix and Apache are both present, so you could set OSX Client as a mail server and web server; you're also free to install other versions of those, which would not be subject to any OSX limitations. For Web I'd actually recommend XAMPP, it makes getting Apache, PHP, PERL, and Mysql all plug-n-play <http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html > We ue XAMPP for our production server setup for the College, it works great.
