Unless you need OS X Server for other things (AFS,
Netboot, etc.), though, it seems like a huge waste of money just to get a
pretty GUI for freely available software.

Maybe, maybe not.


I have downloaded all the software required to install
apache,
mysql
php
postfix
courier
squirrelmail

to build a robust freeware webmail system,

and between them the pdf manuals alone total about 2000 pages but I don't think I need to worry about half of them ;-).

If there was a one click install of everything else I could deal with PHP and Squirrelmail myself as they are the least difficult. I've been using web* and SIMS and all the other OS9 era stuff for 6 years and the downloaded "howto" on linking postfix/courier/mysql got pretty thick as I was reading it last night.

A nice GUI would be worth some dough to me.
