    Hello, I’m curious about setting up 10.3 Server on my laptop for none production use, development work, testing, and general messing with Server to learn more instead of having to do these on a production server, or have to buy a new box.

    I’m curious if anyone has been successful with this, any problems or things to watch out for. I am familar with 10.3 not liking to change static IPs, but I should be able to still run dynamic addresses fine though right?

    Will my powerbook degrade in performance for apps like Photoshop, Office, etc that I use on a daily basis (bearing in mind that server apps like apache, mysql etc will all be shut down when running Photoshop or similar apps)

    Any info or insight would be very welcomed.

    I have it loaded on my 12″ 867 and it works fine. I use to do just what you said – lean the admin tools, try different configs and mess around w/ features of the OS. Although I don’t have PSD loaded on the 12″, I can tell you that there is no noticeable slowdown in other apps like, Word, Excel, Entourage, FileMaker, GoLive.

    Have it installed on my PowerBook 12″ and i’m using it for Web, ftp, mail and it
    works fine.
    However – If you call apple for support, they won’t give it because the 12″
    is not a supported machine for Mac OS X.

    I have it running on my 12″ powerbook. I imaged a lab of 30 computers from it.
    The rpms were red lined and I don’t think I will again try 30 computers at once. It works great for imaging in the field.
