Mavericks

[Mike Andrews]

I'm about to upgrade my Mac Mini server, too.

I installed Mavericks on my other Late 2009 Mac Mini and it went without 
a hitch, although it took a while.  Let's see Microsoft pull off meeting 
the demand with 100s of thousands of customers downloading immediately 
after the announcement.

What is there in the server apps that are useful for home use?  I have 
the Lion server.

I figure that I'd only use something like the caching DNS server and I 
can install that myself.
