Apple is bundling Server with Lion, making it the most feature-packed version of the operating system ever – which is good news for everyone .

Predilection for sugar and its pleasure-inducing sweet taste isn’t confined to primates, but is lacking in some other mammals, too. Driving in the New Forest recently we nearly collided with a white-lining cow that was avidly licking a cat’s eye; and those privileged to cater for the whims of cats know how uninterested they are by sweet foods. Yet a common fond memory from childhood is of Lyle’s Golden Syrup in its iconic green and gold tin, bearing the Biblical quotation from Samson’s riddle of the honeycomb in the dead carcass of a lion, claimed as Britain’s oldest brand.

‘Bundling Server free with the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion client edition is remarkable common sense’

As with its previous server software, the enduring delight in having these features available in the normal client edition is their ease of use. Armed with MacPorts and a fair bit of Unix wizardry, it has never been hard to add a vast range of server features to the client edition. The catch has been that they required familiarity with the command line and Unix configuration files, with the closest thing to a friendly front end being Webmin. In previous instalments of OS X, ease of administration has required the substantial buy-in price of at least the 10-client Server edition. We now get the whole lot for free.

This should be good for Apple, good for those running Mac networks and good for Mac users. Apple can hardly have made much profit from the Server edition, pricing it far below its Windows competition but inevitably above that of Linux. System administrators benefit in many ways, not least the ability to upgrade any Intel Mac to Lion and set it to share service load. Mac users will have a new range of tools that could appeal to more than just existing power users. Coupled with system-level auto- saving and version control, Lion will be the most feature-rich version of OS X.

As Samson’s bees brought sweetness, there are potential hazards. AirDrop, the local wireless file transfer system, will pose interesting security issues and no doubt feature in demonstrations in security conferences to come. There will also be the danger that users surpass their comfort zone, enabling then misconfiguring services that rot up their Macs. These could include SMTP servers relaying spam, open remote administration and worse. But experience with existing opportunities to mess up your Mac is that the great majority of users don’t fiddle with services they don’t understand.

Lion is OS X come of age: both client and server, sweetness and strength.

Howard Oakley has used Macs in science and medicine for 20 years, and developed commercial software.

Apple hopes that no Samson will slay its Lion, but is keen to unveil the joy that this next major release will bring. Already these tempters and their ensuing rumours and leaks are making headlines, including those from Server users that become exegeses on the statement that ‘Lion Server is now part of Mac OS X Lion’. Still mourning the loss of the beloved Xserve, system administrators can be forgiven their ongoing grief reaction.

Bundling Server free with Lion client edition is remarkable common sense, and a step forward for many Mac users. We won’t all be rushing to run our own mail or name servers, but smaller networks will at last be able to benefit from enhanced file sharing, as well as group features such as calendaring and the Wiki server. The latter gets a significant boost in version 3, and wireless file-sharing for iPad, provided by Lion Server’s bundled WebDAV server, is another big bonus.

• An VPN SSL works with almost all standard Web browsers. Contrary to the protocol for the Internet security (IPSec) VPN, SSL VPN for does not require specialized software on the end user. This increases the flexibility of the VPN SSL. Wireless users can also connect to the network via SSL VPN, which provides improved security and less complex system administration.

• The main advantage of VPN SSL is that it provides secure and flexible way for individuals and home users, travelers, business partners and contractors to connect from any computer with a browser and Internet connection for home networking. This allows for more efficient and productive work.

• Netscape developed the VPN SSL protocol and the first publicly released in 1995. A more secure version of it was released in 1996. This version was later changed to become Transport Layer Security (TLS) in 1999.

AN ALL-IN-ONE WHICH MAKES COMPUTING FUN AND HASSLE FREE FOR A USER, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST TIME ONE

BY SULABHHiRL

ts maker says the DreamScreen 400 is not a PC hut a revolutionary piece ot technology that aims to take the kinks out of computing for users— kids, elderly, tech-challenged—who feel learning to use a computer is a dire task. With the aim of making technology a pleasant experience tor such users, HP has designed this all-in-one touchscreen machine with a new, customised operating system that will not flummox any­one. Its new intuitive interface works perfectly and should exor­cise the demons of technophobia.

THE BUILT

The design seems to be inspired by some of the other HP all-in-ones but this looks a stunner. The nicc transpar­ent hard plastics with glossy black panel denote a dash of style. The power, volume and brightness buttons are adroitly tucked away on the right. The showstopper is the bright 18.5-inch touch screen which is good to watch movies on or play games. The tap response of the screen is fair. Although you wouldn’t need a physical mouse and keyboard to work with this machine, they do come as part of the package.

NEW AMBIENCE

The system takes about a minute to boot up. And as it is turned on, it loads the new icon-based HP operating system. As soon as you log on, 18 large icons greet you. These bring together a host of latest services to your finger­tips. How do you use them? Simple—just tap them. That is the elementary yet intelligent plus point tor first-time computer users. There is something for everyone in the house. News channels for adults, live temple viewings for the elderly and games for the youngsters. Web browsing and emails have been simplified too. You can also pay your bills using the Pay Bills app and teach the children using the education software. This screen can also display movies in HD. To talk to the relatives in distant places, this machine has a 1.3 MP video camera tor video calling. A few of the applica­tions require subscription, but HP has kept the price nominal.

FINAL SAY

An amazing machine that lets you do just about everything without your being a rocket scientist. All operations are intuitive. All you need is a good Internet connection and a bit of common sense, and DreamSereen will do the rest.
