It depends on how big your organization is really. If you are big enough to warrant the time spend on doing the R&D, then I would recommend that you going with a full UNIX/Linux solution instead of using Mac OS X Server. Mac OS X Server should at best be considered a beta product and is in fact not very well supported by Apple. The problems that you will run into with OS X Server will mostly center around authentication errors, and trouble moving between versions (which will break things). If you go with a full customized *NIX solution then you’ll have more control over the environment which will ensure that the end-users (students and faculty) won’t have to be burdened.

OS X Server is really targetted at very small installations and generally most of the biggest installations of “OS X Server” are just using Darwin UNIX.

The fixed width problem was only a small part of problems with the teams server. And yes, I know how to edit the CSS layouts to change the the appearance, but there should be a simple setting in the preferences to adjust these kinds of things.

I clearly more upset with the fact that it pretty much has to be used IN SAFARI. Only about 1% of the users I administer use Safari with most using IE7, and pretty much the rest using Firefox. The Wiki works in neither of the two MAJORITY BROWSERS.

Make sure that you assign the teams user/group RW permissions to the ./Collaboration directory.

I had personally set my Collaboration directory up on /Volumes/data0/Library/Collaboration since I do so much testing that I like to have all the data separated from the system.
