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 Joshua, Mark, and everyone who responded to my question. It's so great to get useful information so quickly (and you guys didn't even bill me!). My goal was to get a reading on whether it would be less-than-prudent to continue in the OSX direction, and this thread has helped me enormously toward that. More specific questions later!! Thanks also to the individuals who sent personal replies. I'll get back to you asap. Gary On Apr 2, 2008, at 11:36 AM, Gary Broyhill wrote:
