A brief introduction to episode 226 of ScreenCastsOnline in which I take a look at a new edition to the Mac family – The new Mac mini Server with Snow Leopard Server.

Apple surprised everyone with the recent introduction of a refreshed Mac mini, optimised for duties as a full blown server.

With an increase to 500GB disk capacity, the addition of a second 500GB drive and the removal of the superdrive, the Mac mini turns out to be a surprisingly fully featured server platform, intended for small businesses or workgroups. Along with the hardware changes, Apple also supplies a full copy of the latest version of its flagship server operating system – Snow Leopard Server. Not only that, Snow Leopard Server is supplied with unlimited client licences!

All for just $999 or £799 – altogether an incredible package and amazing value!

But is the Mac mini Server for you? Do I need Snow Leopard Server for my home network? What advantages does Snow Leopard Server bring over the desktop version of Snow Leopard?

In this overview show I reveal all, answering all these questions and more. As well as providing some background information, I demonstrate a standard installation of SL Server onto the Mac mini, using the very smart built in remote capabilities. Once installed, I explore some of the server tools and features of Snow Leopard Server.

The full 40 minute show covers: The Physical Differences Between The Mac Mini Range, Comparative Server Supporting Up To 100 Users, Snow Leopard Server For Home Use? Installation Options, Installing Server Admin Tools On An Administrative Computer, Remote Server Installation Via Server, Admin Utility, Drive Configuration Considerations, Server Utilities Overview, Server Admin, Server Monitor, Server Preferences. Web Technologies Quick Peek

Hopefully by the end of the show, you’ll have a full appreciation of the capabilities of the new Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server.

NANAIMO – BC Ferries is raising rates and some people are going to be paying a lot more to travel between the Island and the Mainland. There’s a new rate structure for people who drive RVs, tow boats or fifth wheel trailers. Those towing small Utility Trailers are being hit especially hard.

BC Ferries has eliminated its overheight surcharge. Anyone with what would have previously been considered an overheight vehicle will be paying the same base rate as a normal vehicle. However, the additional rate for each foot of length beyond 20 feet is jumping up to $5.25 right across the board.

A truck towing a utility trailer now costs $2.25 for each additional foot, but that will increase by $3 April 1st to $5.25 meaning a vehicle and utility trailer combination thirty feet long will cost an extra $30 a trip.
