Hi there

We are a small office of about 4 people, and we would like to have a 27-inch iMac (Core 2 Duo) setup as a server and workstation simultaneously, using Mac OS X Server.

This might seem like overkill (and stupidity at the same time), but here is the situation:

  • we want to convert our whole office to Mac, only one full-time PC left
  • we will not use it's mail server
  • we might use it's chat server
  • we want it setup to provide VPN
  • we are a small office so I don't see how the server can be overrun with too much traffic.

How difficult would it be to set it up in this way? I have a fairly advanced knowledge of Mac OS X but have never encountered Mac OS X Server. I think I would be able to set it up, but what are the probable pitfalls that might come up?

Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
