While not as plentiful as the software for the PowerPC version of Rhapsody, there is software out there for the Intel version.Lord Blackadder said:One thing I'd really like to have for entertainment value is an x86 Intel verison of Rhapsody/OS X Server so I could run it on a PC. There are a few copies floating around here and there but it is probably a PITA to get software for it.
For a long time my only Rhapsody system was my ThinkPad, and it is still a great system!
I tried to outline what someone would need to get a Rhapsody for Intel system usable for most common tasks on my Rhapsody Resource Page... the best place to start would be the "Rhapsody 5.1 for Intel, Getting Started" page. It covers a number of important aspects of getting the system to a functional state for the average user (of course, there is no such thing as an average user of Rhapsody ).
After that I would suggest looking at the "Applications for Rhapsody" page to see if there is anything available there that would cover the tasks you might use a Rhapsody system for. Some of the links are broken as I recall, but I think I can still find any of the software listed on this page.
For example, if I spent more time writing more detailed documents (than TextEdit could handle, which is pretty much what I use in OPENSTEP, Rhapsody and Mac OS X for word processing) I would consider getting WriteUp and maybe PasteUp. As it stands most of my page layout, illustration and web design needs are covered with Create 5.1 (which I have a license for and I put up a copy of the Create 5 online manual on the site here).
Similarly, I'm able to cover my image editing needs with TIFFany3, PixelNhance and CuttingRoom.
Plus I've been very happy with PDFView, which had more features than the version of Acrobat Reader Adobe was giving away back then. I cover the PDF stuff on this page.
I even cover how I've used Rhapsody to create all of the pages on RhapsodyOS.org on this page. Originally this was to answer the question I get asked quite a bit... "What can you do in Rhapsody?" These days I spend a lot of time in Rhapsody because I like the tools I have to work with.
I would guess that the biggest thing would be getting used to the system... which was it's major hurdle originally. But these days most anyone who is pretty good at working with Mac OS X shouldn't have too many problems with Rhapsody. Specially if you have the software resources to make the system usable for your needs.
ehurtley, you can find OmniWeb 4.2 and any of Omni Group software for Mac OS X v10.1 here.
