Re: OS X server easy to use?

To be honest... OS X server is terrible. If you have no experience with command line UNIX, then maybe the UI etc is nice. As someone with year of UNIX experience though, the OS X server is a nightmare. Nothing is done very easily in it. OS X as a desktop is clearly its intended function. Life as a server seems to be an after thought.

Personally, I'd recommend you use Linux of FreeBSD. Way easier to do real server tasks.

For fun, look up what it takes to add a new user, and member of a few groups, from the CLI on each.
