Yes, I agree. Just because OS X has a amazing GUI does not mean you cannot use the command line if you desire.

On the other hand, most users will be happy with the GUI as a desktop model.

More than likely I would not choose OS X as a remote server as I do agree most packages for OS X are designed for GUI installation.

PS: I recently installed LAMP for OS X, called MAMP, and it was the easiest LAMP/MAMP install I have ever seen.

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/mac.h>

     int
     mac_is_present(const char *policyname);

DESCRIPTION

     The mac_is_present() function determines whether the currently-running kernel supports MAC for a given policy or not.  If policyname is

     checked.

RETURN VALUES

     If the system supports the given MAC policy, the value 1 is returned.  If the specified MAC policy is not supported, the value 0 is returned.
     If an error occurs, the value -1 is returned.

ERRORS
