Sorry this doesn't answer any of your questions but it is related. I 
agree with you the general feeling reading the list (and despite 
Tenon saying otherwise) is that the plain OS X client is a lot less 
bother than the server version but we may be going the other way.

We are currently running iTools on G4 Quicksilver dual 1GHz towers 
with OS X 10.1.5 client. We have ordered Xserves to replace these 
'old' machines. Xserves come with OS X Server. Also included is a lot 
of admin diagnostic type stuff.

What are Xserve people on the list doing?
Should we wipe the drives and install plain OS X?
Does the extra Xserve software install separately? I fear that future 
Xserve specific updates from Apple will require OS X Server.

Also, is the list going to shift from OS X client to more people on 
server as I presume Xserves will replace aging kit as time goes on?
