Mac OS X Server 1.0 is the official RTM build of Mac OS X Server 1.x, released to consumers on 16 March 1999. Unlike the previous Rhapsody builds, this build is only available in the PowerPC architecture. It includes some minor changes and improvements from Developer Release 2, like the login screen being updated to remove Rhapsody branding, updating the kernel to 5.3, or changing the Workspace Manager about to include credits.

This release is often mislabeled as "Mac OS X Server 1.1" on later printings of this build's installation media, which Apple was made aware and released a knowledge base article acknowledging the error.[1]

New features and changes[edit | edit source]

  • The kernel was updated to 5.3. The skipped version 5.2 was used in a cancelled home release of Rhapsody, named Rhapsody 1.0.
  • The login screen has received two changes, the Rhapsody Developer Release 2 text was changed to Mac OS X Server, with the background being replaced with a tilted X on a gray background.
  • The Workspace Manager about dialog was changed, with the Workspace Manager text being shrunk down, and credits being included.
  • The Apple logo menu was changed again from the previous build, with it now including icons next to every option.
