It's bad.

Leopard Server is very, very pretty, and works very, very well. Until it decides not to. And then you're in trouble.

Having hosted the site myself via the wonder that is 10.5 Server, I'm now running back to this older, yet far more reliable iteration with my tail planted quite firmly between my legs. I do, as a matter of fact, know a thing or two about OS X (possibly even a thing or *three* if we're going to get crazy about it), and it pains me to report that this thing is a mess.

Services decide to work, or not, based purely on passing whims, or dependent on our temporal relation to the solstice. Windows sharing, for example, is something I've quite deliberately turned off, yet keeps turning itself back on at the first opportunity. The wiki/blog function is prone to becoming quite badly broken for what amounts to really no good reason. Faced with this, the choice between sticking things out and undergoing the daily equivalent of slamming my head in the car door, or just hanging the whole thing up and, hey, having, y'know, an actual website seemed pretty straightforward.

Anyway, I'm back. For now.
