Nov 29, 2010 at 16:09 comment added Chris S I agree that outright banning certain hardware goes too far. The issues comes when people have problems getting Enterprise Requirements out of Consumer Hardware. The other day someone had issues with a Via RAID chipset and some new disk drives. It's likely a compatibility issue. This is a chunk of the price in Enterprise Hardware (known compatibility and a warranty that stands behind that). In that case it was a Dell Server, but 3rd party HDs (consumer grade SATAs).
Nov 29, 2010 at 13:40 comment added gWaldo Agreed. That statement basically excludes MacOS Server. Additionally, Apache is still a webserver even if it's running on a machine that somebody sits at. Apache doesn't compile or execute any differently if it's on someone's workstation versus on a rack-mounted server.
Nov 29, 2010 at 13:35 comment added Kara Marfia Mod That's a good point. Mac admin isn't quite as ubiquitous as some other OS bases, but I don't want to inadvertently exclude them.
