Prior to OS X, Apple's Appleshare[?] services provided server applications such as file and printer sharing and user management.
As of version 10 of the Mac OS, the server and the standard version are nearly identical; OS X Server mainly adds server management software - web, mail and user services. Most of OS X Server's services are based on standard BSD tools, for example the Apache web server; OSXS adds a GUI interface to these services. An exception is User services which are based on (Next) NetInfo.
