OS X used to be a very decent out-of-the-box server OS, that also came with an actually usable GUI to configure many things.
A friend of mine would put a "shared" Mac Mini somewhere in the office at almost every job he's ever had, "just in case". Need to let a guest browse the web? The router is failing? Transcode some media? It always came in clutch.
- duffyjp 4y agoOne of my first real jobs I was tasked with maintaining the department's website. After a while I asked my supervisor where it was actually hosted. He took me over to another building and showed me a headless G3 B&W PowerMac on the floor of a shared office. It had been the original developer's machine and they just left it running dutifully for years. This was before https was common and it was a static site so really you could have hosted it on anything. The people working in that office were unaware of what it did, just that it should never be turned off. ;)
