I was speaking generally about server versus client operating systems.

I assume you would generally agree servers generally need faster hard  
drives, bus, and I/O systems whereas clients generally need faster  
CPU and GPU (again excluding compute servers).

The "trouble" with Apple's server OS is, of course and as I  
mentioned, that it is mostly a tweak of the client OS, even though it  
would generally be used quite differently.

The GUI on a server is a nice bonus for me, but not crucial.

Cheers,
