Re: New to iTools/OSX

The only real benefit for OSXS is if you are going to have it share local
users.  If its strictly a web server use the client and save yourself a
bundle.

There are limited options for serving mail and iTools together.  Tenon would
be able to help you with that.  If your only serving 7-10 sites you're
probably OK sharing it with a mail server.  I know iTools comes "bundled"
with something but we've never used it.

Your iMac should work fine for this application.
