Google first hit:
It seems to be an InterfaceBuilder-integration component; you can create various "controller" objects in IB and form various bindings/glue that would previously have had to be done programmatically. Apparently, this is resurrected functionality from EnterpriseObjectsFramework...
I'd say that's more than "no info".

The framework may have been extended and should have since Openstep to Rhapsody to OS X 10.0 to Panther.
That is the evolution of such frameworks.
It first was NXController back in the NeXTStep 3.3 and prior days, by the way.

Any shell program/script that is written by anyone who knows anything about writing shells programs/scripts will contain a shebang as the first line. The syntax look like this:
#!/bin/sh
This specially formatted line tells the OS what program (in that case the "sh" shell) will be able to interpret this file properly. No matter what the "default" shell is, no matter what shell you are actually running when you type the command name, the program will be run with the shell specified in that line.
Ex: most perl programs have #!/usr/bin/perl or #!/usr/local/bin/perl
For the Mac savvy this is really equivilant to the "creator" field in a file's meta information.

cool, good CLI centralization + GUI tools (Score:5, Interesting)
Starts up with basic commands (ssh and the like), giving way to more in-depth info, XML configuration files, etc.
There seems to be some sort of centralized group of commands. For instance, there is the 'systemsetup' command, that handles a plethora of tasks: energy saver, time, sleep-wakeup, languages, startup... That might be helpful and a cool deviation from the traditional make-changes-in-many-places syndrome that has plagued UNIX and the like for years.
OTOH, there's a nice review [macworld.com] of Panther Server with cool screenshots on Maccentral.

Apple isn't asking them to make a choice, they're saying "If you use Jaguar server now, keep using it, but here's a copy of Panther server so yo can upgrade to it when you're ready."
Could you ever imagine Microsoft allowing Dell, HP or Compaq to ship 2000 and XP on the same order just in case the customer was using 2000 and didn't want to upgrade to XP yet?
Re:Best line (Score:2)
The difference being that Dell, HP, etc, would have to buy both copies, and would like as not pass the costs on to the consumer/businness.

Before that, I purchased dozens that had NT4 and 2000 as options.
YOu can only choose one (no dual boot), but that seems to answer your question.

Quite right - a difference would be that if you choose NT, 2K gets wiped, so there's no future upgrade. I'm assuming Apple ships CD's for both.
Re:Best line (Score:1)
Hrm. I'm not sure about that.
When it came time to get Windows 2000 on the NT4 boxen, I plugged in the restore CDs and I was off and running with Windows 2000.
The Restore CDs ask which OS to install. The nice little sticker on the side of the case has keys for both.
I suppose it's possible I've broken a rule somewhere.

" Xserve and WebObjects Power iTunes Music Store [macworld.com]" writes Jim Dalrymple on MacCentral. "Apple based the store on Mac OS X Server and Web Objects 5.2 using Xserves and Xserve RAIDs to store the more than 200,000 songs available to the public."

JBoss has had a hard time getting Sun certification as J2EE compliant, but now that it has been certified, OS X Server 10.3 + JBoss + Apple's Server Tools should make the XServe rather attractive to J2EE shops.
Here is a complete hardware solution, for less than the cost of a Weblogic licence!
