Hi Gary, Yes! It works quite well. The PHP install in 10.5 lacks GD library (no comment on where Apple's brain is)... but it can either be compiled or using binaries from MAMP or entropy.ch. And I've run several OS X servers in production for many years. It worked out well especially in some small higher ed shops where IT staff didn't want to really learn UNIX/Linux but the point-click day-to-day stuff on OS X they could (and did) handle.

Hi,
I fairly new to this group, and have thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts so far.
To learn Drupal, I have succesfully set up Drupal 5.7 on a Mac OSX Leopard server, which came preconfigured with Apache/PHP. I had the server on hand so it seemed a cheap way to get started :). Has anyone else tried using Drupal on OSX? Would be interested in comparing notes. I'm not sure if OSX would be a good production server for the long haul, and I wonder if should just ditch it and go to a standard LAMP set up.
Any input on this would be appreciated! Thanks
