I am running it only to see if they put in the stuff for controlling what parts of setup assistant you want to display. And from what i can tell its still vapor ware. I would not put an OS X server into production for anything at this point except maybe an Xsan if I were ever to be conned into that again. But, since linux has real server hardware, and has useful documentation on how to configure the services that is the way we are going from here on out.

Maybe just my fate: Upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 was already bumpy - "AppStore has encountered an error - please retry…." Tested 3.0 - so far not crashing, but I am not convinced.
I am also heading the Linux way.
Any advice on the distribution? I see a lot of CentOS - everybody recommends that?
Thanx!

Thanks. To be frank, I'm not really interested in editorializing about whether or not to run OS X Server. I just want to hear about the new software.

@michaelhusar - when I set up a test Linux server here I used Centos. It was fine, the RH instructions were mostly usable, with a few minor adjustments. I haven't dealt with it in awhile, though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Same here my server was built from scratch i did not upgrade.
I have a CentOS server for my lab, but we will do RHEL in production as the server teams will actually support that OS and I can get out of server management functions, another reason to move away from OS X server.
Obviously the Linux thing is nice because you can choose what brand you like, somebody at JAMF likes Ubuntu for some reason, but i looked at their stuff on Ubuntu and it helped get my CentOS and RHEL stuff going.
Linux is a bit difficult at the same time if you don't go with JAMFs solution as you have to re-engineer some of it. But at least it all runs where its supposed to, and the config files are easy to find and make things work. And being that I am a Unix/Linux guy that was asked to start taking care of Macs I really don't think like most Mac users anyway so its a bit more comfortable to me.

We deploy on almost everything - from ubuntu, OS X Server, Windows Server, RHEL, CentOS...they all seem to work fine since we don't care much about the internals (mostly). Anything beyond that is pure company preference.
Pick a flavor, and grab Java and MySQL.
