Yes....it's OS X server....similar to the workstation version. 
But...here's one thing the Macs can do....they can do a diskless netboot
now...from an OS X server.  Essentially you create a netboot image (nbi)
and put it into a netboot share....etc...etc.  It works for Mac
hardware....wouldn't it be cool if it could work for a Linux terminal... 
We should study the netboot process and find out how and why.
