Another thing to keep in mind is that OS X Server is not the same as OS 
X.  A colleague at work was bitten by some broken scripts (directories 
not present, etc.) when he upgraded an X Serve to OS X Server Tiger 
(10.4).  I assume these issues have been fixed by now, but don't assume 
that OS X and Server are the same beast.

I think OS X Server is still PPC-only at the moment, too.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who would be nervous about using OS X Server for anything important 
without an experienced MacHead running it.)
