software is an evolutionary revision of Snow Leopard Server, but is
priced for everyone at $50. "Using OS X Lion Server" helps
non-sysadmins set up and maintain services for sharing files, mail
and calendars on their desktops, tablets, or mobile devices. The
book covers new web, wiki, chat and podcasting server management
tool, as well as tools for managing configurations of multiple OS
installations across a network. The book concludes with advice for
setting up a home media server. Apple has released 6 versions of
their Mac server platform. The original Lion announcement said that
the server components would be bundled with the OS and not marketed
as a separate project. This changed in the Spring of 2011 and Apple
announced the server package would be available separately for $50.
