MMMmmm it ain't funny to wait for server release while everybody else has fun with 10.2.4 or does the software update engine trick me?
Is there a release of 10.2.4 server soon?

I too am waiting for Server, and they are usually released at the same time.

Mac OS X Server 6I32 is available for ADC members though.

Does the 10.2.4 update for OS X Server show up in SW Update? I don't use Server, so I wouldn't know, but I seem to remember that Apple would release a server-specific update only if there were changes to HotSauce (the codename for the different/extra programs included with OS X Server). I could be way off though.

Nonetheless, I am curious about whether or not it is available in SW Update, since there are at least three relatively serious security fixes in 10.2.4.

No, there is a separate Mac OS X Server 10.2.4 update.

What you mention was what Apple did during Mac OS X Server 10.1.x, but with regards to 10.2, 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.3, and 10.2.4, Apple have released separate releases for Client and Server, and they even had the same build numbers.

The Server update includes everything from the Client update + specific Server updates.

No kidding, where is this much needed upate? Kernel Panics in 10.2.3 Server are "normal" for me, very aggravating!!

Where did you find server software update on ADC? I can't find it!

No kernel panics here.

not for me. 10.2.3 has been running for several *months* (since it came out more or less) with zero problems.

i have two 10.2.3 Server machines... that goes for both of them.

i highly suspect you have a bad stick of RAM.

Nope, tried taking out the RAM, not the problem. Re-built all directories as well, something is very peculiar that even Apple hasn't really been able to help. I think the good 'old "reformat and start fresh" is about to happen.

For what's it worth, this our continous panic.log information regarding the crash:

uhh .. thats a filesystem error. Do you have journaling enabled? .. have you sent this to apple?

No, I don't have jouranling enabled and I have 3 "upper-level Engineers" working on my Case # to no prevail, it's been going on for quite awhile now. We average roughly 3-4 crashes a day easily....NOT GOOD! I am hoping 10.2.4 patched the filesystem issue or I'll have no choice but to reformat.
