Before you begin...

Before you start your experience with Mac OS X Server, you should install the Mac OS X Server Administration tools on your Mac OS X Client computer so you can manage your server remotely (you can find these tools by searching Apple's support Web site). You should also have the Terminal application handy, possibly by placing it in your Dock; and you'll want to know a little about the network on which you're installing Mac OS X Server, such as what IP addresses are used on that network and whether that network is totally offor connected tothe Internet.
