Computerworld has put together a short walkthrough on setting up Leopard Server with a Basic install.
“Leopard Server, the newest version of Mac OS X Server, sports many new updated features. One of the most innovative is a new interface that simplifies server setup and management. This new interface is designed primarily for small businesses or small workgroups within a larger organization that need server functionality but don’t have the resources to hire a full-time systems administrator.”
If this sounds like it could be of use to you, head on over for the text and photo walk through on how to get everything set up and running. You can read it here

Novell’s iFolder technology is a great solution for anyone that uses more than one computer and/or uses them in multiple locations. This service syncs LOCAL copies of your documents so that you have your documents available online or offline AND keeps each iFolder client updated with any changes.
The Benefits are obvious:
- You can get your work and home files in sync automatically.
- All documents in all places have the most recent changes and edits.
- A web interface to your synced files if you aren’t around your own computer.
- Instead of only keeping your files on a server, the syncing will allow you access to your files while offline as well.
Michael Galindo, a customer of Macminicolo.net, will be publishing a three part series on how he got iFolder working on his Mac server. If you have a Mac server, and could use a little organization in your life, please feel free to follow along.

Lately, we have had a lot of new customers who want to use their Mac minis as file servers. Often the case is someone who wants an FTP server for access to all of their documents while on the road. Others have customers who they offer file storage to for a monthly fee. Because our network is very, very fast, these customers can grab their files much quicker than if they were on the road and trying to grab them from a home computer.
Luckily Leopard really improves when it comes to file sharing. The way to set services and preferences is easier and more thorough than it has ever been before.
Macworld posted an article today called, “File Sharing In Leopard that is quite helpful if you’re trying to do this sort of thing.
