RedM Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Currently I am a Mac novice. I have used a Mac for random needs but nothing too hardcore. I have been going through getting my networking degree and now that I am close to completion I want to branch out more. I am looking to install Mac OS X Server on a home built machine. I know it is possible to install it on intel machine but I am looking for the specifics. Can any one give me advice or point me in the direction to make sure all my hardware will check out with the Mac OS? I was pointed in this direction and it really looks like yall are the folks that can help instead of telling me to just buy a Mac. All constructive advice would be appreciated.

Guest Ramm Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 First, read all of the stickies in the Tutorials section. You need to get a copy of an OSx86 release (by JaS, uphuck, etc). Check your hardware against the compatibility lists on the wiki. To install Server, you need to get the extra packages from a Server installation. I believe some of them are actually available on the Apple website.

uberdown Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 just know that it can be done... i just got my os x server up & running on a celeron d proc. i love my new mail server... os x server 10.4.10 & zimbra mail server are so much better than the ms exchange 2003 box i had been running for my personal mail server. sadly, i can't walk away from exchange altogether, since i'm an exchange admin.
