| Nov 23, 2010 at 15:45 | comment | added | Chris S | being a fan of a particular company has nothing to do with it. Taking desktop grade hardware and creating a server from it does not infer professional grade reliability, manageability, or capability. Even Apple is careful to call it a "desktop server". I understand you disagree with the generally accepted interpretation of the FAQ, but this is a collaboratively edited (clearly stated in the FAQ) and you'll be subjected to others' opinions. | |
| Nov 23, 2010 at 15:19 | comment | added | paleozogt | @Chris S putting server in quotes doesn't change the fact that mac minis can be used as low-end servers (see apple.com/macmini/server). Just because you're not a fan of Macs doesn't mean that questions about them aren't appropriate for SF. | |
| Nov 23, 2010 at 15:08 | comment | added | GregD | I too believe that SF is becoming overly pedantic with regard to systems administration. My particular job entails many different scenarios. I've helped manage networks from 10,000 workstations and > 100's of servers spread out over an entire state, to networks with 1 server and 10 workstations and everything in between. It was ALL systems administration. What I gleaned from the big setups, certainly helped me on the smaller setups. | |

| Nov 20, 2010 at 4:37 | comment | added | paleozogt | If that is the intention of ServerFault, I think the FAQ needs to be changed. The phrase "If you are in charge of ... many desktop PCs" should be removed and replaced with "hard core servers capable of serving thousands of users". | |
| Nov 20, 2010 at 3:28 | comment | added | Chris S | Hacking a "server" together from the spare parts you have (Mac Mini included) doesn't make it server grade. Your essentially asking how to configure desktop hardware, which has nothing to do with administering a network of computers or a server. | |
