At my University we have our share of Mac fans. Well one of them got on a board with some power and convinced my department (Scientific Computing) to buy Mac hardware for a new file system meant to replace our home directories. This server went live and crashed on almost a daily basis, support from Mac was impossible, and we had to replace the entire file system a year later. Since then our support team has refused to purchase another Mac and the guy who pushed for the Mac has said it was a horrible decision and he was sorry for it.
Mac's are not good on an enterprise level. They work great for consumer level PC's but do not function well as servers. At this point if you want a reliable server that will service many people you should go with Linux.
