Very good but...
This book got me started and on the way to a good install of Lion OSX server. However, it didn't cover getting mail server to work which is a must. I did get mail to work by buying another book (bright yellow cover!) and the combination of the two books has given me what can only be described as the best little mini mac server I know of... This book covers everything well (the SSL install has changed since Big Daddy changed there web site and I would read up on installing the SSL correctly on the web as well as it must be done properly or it doesn't work).
Buy a mini mac with OSX Server on, its like what SBS should be but isn't. Unbelievable for such a small silent box...
By the way, logging into webmail on a new installation can give IMAP connection errors, check the web as the solution is fiddly but not so hard. Once it all works you will have a grin from ear to ear.
