OSX Lion & Lion Server
21 July 2011
Lion was released on 21st July via the Mac App Store. To install it go to the OSX Lion page and click the Upgrade Now button
Lion is downloaded via the App Store and there is no product available on DVD. Lion is an upgrade for Snow Leopard and requires Snow Leopard to be installed on the target machine
Lion Server requires Lion to be installed first. Server is then downloaded and installed on top. It seems that a previous version of OS X Server is not required to qualify to buy Lion Server – so the cost of OSXS has dropped from around £600 to £45
As before, to work effectively, Lion Server requires a well-planned network infrastructure with a static public IP address and a properly-configured DNS
