Hmmm,

Decidedly positive on the side of MacOS X... Although it might be more fun
to play with it for a while, I shudder at the thought of going it alone

is anyone else on the list running MacOS X? I've looked around for a good
mailing list for Mac OS X Server but didn't come up with anything great.
