Recently, I got my hands on a PowerMac G4 Cube in perfect working condition. As it’s not going to be terribly useful as a media server (or endpoint), and there’s roughly zero development work being done for it, I’m going to turn it into a server. Looking at the docs, I see no reason why I can’t install Mac OS X 10.5 Server on it, and use OpenDirectory as the basis for my home’s distributed authN and authZ. I’ll need to do something to make sure it gets backed up and is replicated, but it’s going to be a fun little project.

Of course, now I need to find my Mac OS X Server install DVD collection.
