New Meh. :-)
No doubt you've looked at it a lot.

A Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server upgrade wasn't a "1-click thing and everything was the same but only better and more shiny". http://forums.macrum...ead.php?t=1165251 I don't know if Mountain Lion even has a "Server" edition any more - I haven't looked at it.

I don't have time to mess with figuring out all the details like that. So, until I have to, I'm not changing the Server OS on my my Mini Server. It's not visible on the internet. If it were, I'd be much more concerned about keeping it updated.

I'll probably just buy a new Mini when/if it comes time to do a major update - it's probably faster and better all around.

YMMV.

Cheers,
Scott.

New The reason there no longer is...
"server version" is that they eliminated the restrictions on the machines.

Plus they no longer have the X-Serve... which means they had to make it possible for many machines to connect to others.

And Yes, some X-Serve machines are eligible for upgrade to Mountain Lion.

And Yes, things aren't going to south on you.

If you wait until it has to happen... you *WON'T* have the time for it then either, but then you'll be forced and all the good will will be gone, because the forums will be full of angst when *everyone* is forced to do it.

If you do it now... its still a common complaint/question in the forums, but at least nobody is super roaring pissed about the issue and posting in all caps and others aren't avoiding the question like the plague.

Your choice in the matter always. But sooner is better.
