Mac Mini Server, poor performance

[Mr_P]

Hi Matt,

First thing, get OS X server off and do a fresh restore from a Mac Mini disk. I couldn't get server to do anything useful, not designed for graphics use.

Make sure you use a Mac Mini restore disk not just Snow Leopard or you won't get use of your ethernet port.

Cheers

I use a disk image created from a Snow Leopard DVD (not restore DVD)
Never had an issue with losing an ethernet port...

Easiest way to install OS on a server without a DVD drive is to make it a firewire drive (hold T at startup) and connect to another mac to install the OS on the drive...
