so doing the exercise of the leopard webserver, the question needs to be asked...

What about a traditional distro on a mac mini?

Well, VS is right that you're running a variant of BSD already... and if you kill OS-X for a *nix then you've just eliminated the best reason for purchasing it. You can make a clone to *nix pretty easily (well, YOU can't anyway  ROFLMAO ) ... it's the combo of BSD and the OS-X GUI that make it most attractive to me. You pay very little for the GUI (in terms of overall box performance) so it's a twofer... best OS with best GUI and lots of yummies come installed out of the box.

My question is, does it really matter if you are doing c++ ./configure make install
stuff  to get *amp together wont you get the same result regardless of OS flavor?

really, no. VS will tell you to YUM your stuff, others will swear by RPMs.

Personally I just like going from nothing to source to configure to make and install because I can see every impact on a box without some package database dicking with me. I also have better control over *how* something is compiled which, since I am a machine tweaker, makes me happy.

Incorrect. I prefer apt-get.

For my iPhone anyway. Smiley

Actually Portage is pretty sweet, I like Gentoo/BSD.
