Summary: Great Server Software
Comment: Not sure about some of the negative reviews of this product... I hate to say it, but I feel like the bad reviews are coming from people that do not know what they are doing in regards to setting up a server. This is a much improved implementation of server software over 10.4. Clean interface and very easy to use assuming you understand DNS, OD, WGM, and so on. As a Macintosh Consultant I have installed and setup several servers running 10.5 and they have all ran very smooth with very minimal downtime.

Summary: Clarification on reviews
Comment: The only positive review on this product isn't FOR THIS product. No one installs server software on a laptop..... I've only talked to one person running 10.5 server with something positive to say. Any one else want to pipe up?

Summary: Excellent OS
Comment: This OS comes loaded with new features. It made my old Powerbook G4 run slightly slower, but I am yet to install it on my Macbook Pro. The only problem I've had is my documents got moved from my documents folder to my applications folder, but that took all but 5 minutes to correct. This is an excellent operating system. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Summary: Rough at First, but running great now.
Comment: When Leopard Server was first released, it certainly had some bugs. But any IT person worth their pay knows that you never install the first version of an Server OS after release.
Now that we are up to version 10.5.2, I feel like it's ready to shine.
The new Basic Install is great for those who are not really the IT person, but was put in charge of managing the server. The "On/Off" switches really make it easy to get services up and running.
My favorite thing about Advanced is the ability to see so many stats on how the server is doing under heavy loads.
And of course the best thing about a Mac OS X Server is the licensing. When compared to the costs of Windows server software, it's no comparison.

Summary: Apple does't sell Mac Pro with Leopard Server preinstalled anymore
Comment: I had a horrible time with this as well. I installed version 10.5.2 on a new MacPro for a clean install. It was extremely unstable and crashed after only a short time. I wasted a lot of time researching the install and tried three times. I finally resorted to hiring an Apple Certifed Tech. It crashed and wiped out all of his settings as soon as I rebooted it.
I finally gave up and decided to run Leopard Client which run flawlessly and I am able to get by with it's limited server functions.
When I bought my system from a local retailer, Apple's website sold the MacPro with Server pre-installed as an option. That is no longer available. Also, even though you can rate most products on their web site, reviews are not permitted on Leopard Server. I guess they can't even get it to work.
