Until you have 10+ people using your 'server' to try to do real work.

Until you have 10+ people using your 'server' to try to do real work.
- mozumder 10y agoWhy would 10 people cause the server any problems? We used to run corporate email server in the 90s with thousands of users, and they had 8GB memory and 2 processors - same as a Mac Mini. And their processors were slower than today's with slow hard drives, not the SSDs of today. None of the services Mac OS X Server does is compute intensive.
- jsz0 10y agoWhy would that be? An i5/i7 with 16GB of RAM and fast disk IO is likely to be just fine for quite a lot more than 10 people.
- mikestew 10y agoI've run Novell servers on machines that have less power than your phone just fine; even a stale Mac Mini will be fine for your hypothetical ten users.
