Q: Can I install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini Server hardware?
What I would like to do is buy the Mac Mini Server but I don't need the server OS. I want the desktop OS on the Mac Mini Server. Will installing Snow Leopard on the server hardware be just like installing it on a regular Mac Mini?
Or should I just wait and see how Lion shakes out?

Ge0ph,
You can install client version but there are some caveats. You can't use a version of OSx before 10.6.5 as it doesn't have the necessary drivers.
The easiest way is to clone a current system from your mac and clone it to the 2nd drive in the server. When this is fully tested you can erase the Server HD.
