As for updates, once you have a major version of server software installed and working, you generally won't want to implement the next major version immediately upon release, because issues may arise that make the server unusablesomething not acceptable in an environment where the server must be running smoothly 24/7/365. Apple has plans to release its next major update to Mac OS X (Leopard) sometime in late 2006 or early 2007. When Tiger Server comes out, careful evaluation of the initial release will likely reveal incredible additions as well as minor annoyances that will be attended to in updates to come. This is the game we play with all software updates, but in the server market, it's especially important that careful evaluation and prudence rule the day. This book incorporates updates that occurred during its writing and is as correct as it can be up to version 10.4.6.
