Best mac os to date. Installed flawlessly and I have had no issues to date. MacBook Pro intel initial version.

This OS comes loaded with new features. It made my old Powerbook G4 run slightly slower, but I am yet to install it on my Macbook Pro. The only problem I’ve had is my documents got moved from my documents folder to my applications folder, but that took all but 5 minutes to correct. This is an excellent operating system. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

The only positive review on this product isn’t FOR THIS product. No one installs server software on a laptop….. I’ve only talked to one person running 10.5 server with something positive to say. Any one else want to pipe up?

This is a server version that seems to be plagued with problems. After my third install, following instructions and the Apple forums to the letter, I’m still having countless issues. My AFP shares vanish, often several times a day. My calendar sharing doesn’t work at all how it’s supposed to. I have trouble believing Apple sold me this piece of crap for $500! I’m almost always 100% satisfied with Apple, and now this.
It really is the worst part of my day. I don’t want to be an I.T. guy or I would have just gotten Linux. For free. On much cheaper hardware. But here I am, stuck with this lemon of a purchase. Very, very disappointed.

I love apple. I love Leopard as a desktop OS. I love Apple’s server software.
I HATE Leopard Server 10.5 – at least as it stands now. IT IS BUGGY AND UNSTABLE. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!
I have a Quad Xeon Xserve that was running a stable install of 10.4.11 server. I upgraded to 10.5 and that’s when the nightmare began. My first two installs failed and destroyed my HD data in the process (ALWAYS WORK ON A CLONE COPY OF YOUR PRIMARY DRIVE). The next one “worked” but the resultant server was all but unusable, sites didn’t migrate, MySQL wouldn’t run, etc.
After hours spent combing Apple’s tech support forums I wiped the disk clean and reinstalled based on what I’d learned. It seemed to work about 90%. MySQL was running, I had to migrate my sites by hand, iCal server & Wiki’s did NOT work, but it seemed like a decent start. Then 48 hours in the whole thing went haywire, SMTP failed and could not be revived, the system logs kept rolling over every 5 minutes, etc. I was dead in the water for no apparent reason.
I rebooted into 10.4.11 and consulted a Unix Guru (Pterobyte, for those that know him) and he told me he’d worked on several Leopard installs – they typically needed 2-4 hours of work (at $225/hr) and even then he recommended against using Leopard because it was too buggy & unstable.
So I am running 10.4.11 Server, have lost about three solid days of time, gave up a bunch of sleep, and ended up returning the software to Amazon for a refund.
SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE. STICK WITH TIGER (10.4) SERVER UNTIL THE BUGS IN LEOPARD (10.5) ARE FIXED. THE APPLE FORUMS ARE FILLED WITH ISSUES, BUGS AND UNHAPPY USERS.
You’re warned, be smart. If you business depends on your server (like mine) don’t run the risk. At a minimum do NOT “upgrade” from 10.4 to 10.5 – do a clean install & migrate your data over. Or better yet, wait a few months until 10.5.2 is released.
