[DM-MUG] Options ref. CPU for Server

[Jon Thompson]

The G5 Powermac would be all that you need, assuming that you do  
replace it as a workstation with a Mac Pro.

Since you don't have more than four computers connecting to it, you  
can get by with Mac OS X Client.  Any more than four, and you'll have  
to pony up for the OSXS.  However, if you have more than four  
computers, OSXS has some nice management features too.
