i can understand the need for Server in a business setting - any reason to have it at home?
I can think of a ton of reasons. Some of these may already have work arounds, and some may not actually be fixed by a home server...
- Shared calendars. I'd like to be able to add stuff to my wife's calendar, and her add stuff to mine.
- iTunes and the iOS need to understand people don't just use one device with one computer. I want all of my media on one server, then any system connected to that server (can require same iTunes auth) can have access to all of the media. And if someone buys media on one of the client machines, it should automatically download to the server.
- If I understand the Profile Manager correctly, I like the idea of being able to log into another machine and have access to my usual stuff, and prefs set the same too.
Is this what Lion Server will do?
Is this what Snow Leopard server does? If so, that is exactly what I want to do as well. Same with ripping songs or movies, all those downloaded to the server also. And not only media, but documents as well.
