Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard - First run and walkthrough
The last of the meaningful big cat Mac OS X releases, Leopard Server represents the apex of Apple's commitment to the business and enterprise market. From Snow Leopard 10.6 onwards, Apple's servers started losing more and more features, culminating with the discontinuation of the Xserve line at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
Leopard Server makes easy to set up very complex services, including clustering and multi-server e-mail hosting solutions, with an excellent interface that exposes powerful features. In this video, I document the out-of-box experience and key features of this excellent OS.
