I've considered it, but Workgroup Manager (if it does what it says) will 
be a very nice thing to have for managing my labs. OTOH, I'm only using 
OSX Server for the workgroup features (NFS and netinfo at the moment) 
everything else (web, mail, dns, radmind, etc..) is served from linux 
(redhat or YDL).  I wouldn't spend the cash os OSX server just to serve 
websites, ssh, mail, etc...

There was a long thread about this simialr subject on the macos-x-server 
list about a month ago.  Hit the archives at lists.apple.com and search 
for it (I think the thread was 'Who uses OSx for serving websites?' or 
simialr).  there were a lot of very good comments about who's using what 
and why, but basically it boiled down to maindshare.  If you have a 
linux competent person around, then maybe linux is better, have a mac 
person around, the OSX Server might be the ticket.

HTH
