If you've been paying attention, you may know that I have some old DEC systems -- a MicroVAX and two AlphaServers -- Computers.png[^]
Today I mentioned needing room for a server rack and was asked something along the lines of, "Apple or Windows?" Confused | :confused:

Certainly the person asking the question doesn't "know computers" and I'm not surprised that Linux wasn't mentioned, and she didn't recognize "DEC" as a computer manufacturer.

But it got me thinking: Does Apple even make a "server" OS? Other than maybe a render-farm, would a business run servers on OSX?

I took a quick binge and saw "OS X Server", but it looks more like a software suite to run on other systems.
