Mac OS X Server 10.5 for Prepress and CTP Server?

Hello,

I have an OS X Server, unlimited client with fibre channel Xraids. It currently runs OS X 10.4 and is on Apple maintenance? Today I got a new install media from Apple Computer for the OS 10.5 Leopard server upgrade.

My question is... Does anyone know what the benefit is of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (server). I am not sure that I saw any real improvement from OS X 10.3 Panther Server to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger server? I haven't bothered to really do any reading, guess I'll do that but I figured I might spark up a conversation here on if and why I should be in any hurry to install this, or not..

Mac OS 9 Support with Xserve OPS X 10.5 Leopard Server

OS 9 support, That should be no problem here, we killed OS 9 years ago. QuarkXpress 7 won't even run with OS 10.3.9. I even have a couple of the old iMac G3 600's running OS 10.4.10 and they run great. We run all our PC prepress jobs in OS X too since it supports use of windows fonts.

I am wondering what is the advantage. Afterall the server is BSD Unix underneath and for simple file service, what could be that different? If it's like the upgrade top 10.4, we will be better off waiting for a couple of months till problems are found and patched. With servers, usually it pays to be a delayed adopter of new systen upgrades, Know What I mean?

What all the services you run on the server if you dont mind me asking? If you're just using AFP and Windows SMB and nothing else... I am like you on waiting.


But then again I am stillt trying to talk to my workplace into getting os x server just so we don't have to use the same username and password. It would also help me direct my boss off in areas where I don't feel her comfortable being in. She has the right idea a lot but seems to cause more problems. =\ It is not intentional, it just happens.

Oh good news on the server at my work place, hehe... I finally got it off the light switch! Smile (in reference to a post long ago I made.)

But back to topic, I think waiting is a good idea at least until a few 10.5.X fixes come out for it. And one last question, with the maintenance agreement could you set up a test server with 10.5 to test it out or would Apple look down upon that? - TPD
