Could Lion bring us closer to a Mac home server? | Operating Systems | MacUser | Macworld: Lion Server is now part of Mac OS X Lion. It’s easy to set up your Mac as a server and take advantage of the many services Lion Server has to offer.
Currently, Mac OS X Server costs $499, or is bundled with a Mac Mini server that costs $999. But with Lion, Mac OS X Server will be provided at the same cost as Mac OS X client, most likely around $129 if Apple sticks with its traditional operating system pricing. To install Lion Server, you would simply choose the Customize option when you run the installer. So every Mac user running Lion will be able to run the server software. And that leads to some interesting speculation about what server features Apple may offer to home users.
