The server machine is a basic Mac Mini (1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM), because it doesn’t take much space, and most importantly, it doesn’t make any noise at all. Also, it looks cool :)
\nThe OS isn’t MacOS anymore, since I had such a terrible time trying to install PHP5 on it, and because I believe the main point of having a Mac is to enjoy the GUI (not gonna happen if it is a server). Instead, I went for an easy-to-install kUbuntu: 10 min to install the OS, 3 “apt-get install” commands for AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) and 1 for SSH, and I was almost set. It then takes 5 minutes to create new database and user, and other basic stuff. Then, of course you can take your time to actually install your website content from your workplace or anywhere.<\/p>\n
