According to Apple.com

OSX 10.3: $129

OSX 10.3 Server Edition: $499

Yes this is quite a large price difference but as far as I can tell, with all the network admin controls and things they jammed into OSx Server, $499 is a fair bargain compared with things like Windows Server 2003.

Ya a G5 would be nice. Better than my eMac 700MHZ

ahm ahm,

this is too much to consider running just MySQL, PHP and Apache.

one more question g5orbust: let me know the adequate system requirements for running server (MAC). as after looking at the price tag, i'm thinking of degrading my hardware and go for the server edition.

The server requirements are the same as the requirements for regular OSX, far as I know, though obviously if youre going to make something a server you should buy a machine that can be expanded and changed as needed. I suggest getting a G4 tower on the cheap from Apple. Theyll run server apps fine and wont cost you a bundle.
