The Mac Mini is perfect for running a small server for either the home or a small business, and many people have used them for this very purpose, taking advantage of the OS X client's server capabilities in order to do so. Apple has recognized this with the recent release of the Mac Mini server version, which cheaply brings the features of OS X Server to home users. However, despite it's convenience as a highly portable and low power device, the presence of a specifically labeled "server" model for mac minis indicates to some that the other models are not capable of being a server, and some people have wondered about any limitations on the smaller systems, or differences between the server minis and the other available minis.
