OS X 10.5, easy upgrade to OS X 10.5 Server edition?

[Archman]

Have a friend who would like to create a VPN for when she travels and utilize .MAC Sync between her Powerbook and her new iMAC for her SOHO.

She currently wants the iMAC to be her home server system, and realized she only has the client version of OS X 10.5 (the client version will not allow for a VPN server setup). The server edition is next on her list of items to purchase.

Will it be an easy upgrade once the server edition software is purchased or should the entire system be wiped with a fresh install of the Server edition of OS X 10.5?

Are there any tips or tricks that anyone can share?

Thank you

Although I can't answer your question, I might suggest you put this in the "All Things Apple" section of the AT Software section.

Best of luck,

There is nothing to stop you but in general I don't recommend upgrade installs. I've seen some pretty hair stuff with 10.5 upgrades recently too...

Okay... posted it in the "All Things Apple" forum. Hope I don't get in trouble for a double post.

Thank you
