A small company I am working for has a 100% macintosh network. I have been pushing for Linux on the server side, but recently they brought in a macintosh consulting firm for a quote. They of course are talking up the benefits of using Mac OS X Server over using Linux. Compatibility and integration into the network being one of the benefits they keep talking about.
The server will need: Large Raid drive file server, e-mail server, web server, DNS, LDAP.
The client side needs to remain macintosh-based (at least for now).
I don't have any experience with OS X and thus find it difficult to make a case against it, besides the obvious advantage of "freedom" in a Linux/Open Source solution.
Any thoughts and wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Kevin
