Anyone playing with Panther server? I've heard it will get some new GUI services, but I haven't seen any specifics.

I don't see any real info on the web about it, so I thought it might be nice to have its own thread.

Any info?

Apple has a page up on it, which shows some of the new GUIs:

The most significant is Server Settings has been replaced with a much nicer, more intuitive app. Also most of the tools (Perl, Python, MySQL) have been replaced with newer versions, Open Directory has many fixes, and JBoss ships in the package, with integration with the Server Settings tool (for starting/stopping/configuring) and there's also lots of support for J2EE deployment and configuration (an easier way than defining stuff in XML by hand).
