 | It was a long weekend here; there was lots of rain and we were stuck in the house. To keep from going stir crazy, I decided to install Lion Server on my Mac. I was planning to do the server install at some point anyway, and experiment with the various services available. I think Lion Server is going to be a hit with many home and home office users. It has plenty to offer and is a breeze to install. My plan is to produce a guide for each of the various services as I try them out. In the meantime, if you want to get a head start, I've included the first guide to installing Lion Server. Also, early this week, Apple released the first major update to OS X Lion, bumping it to 10.7.1. I highly recommend the update to every Lion user. And for those of you holding off on upgrading, this may be the right time to give it a try. | |
