Hi, what is the big difference in the regular Mac mini and the one that has
Mac mini Server on it?

I'm still playing and experimenting, but a few things that come to mind
are,
a bunch of new voices, which includes several non-English ones. There is
even an Irish and Scottish option, as well as British and Australian
choices.
There is a new Activities feature in which you can set VoiceOver preferences
for specific applications. For example, let's say you want to use a
different voice when you are on the web or are reading text documents or you
want to have certain VoiceOver features turned off for a specific
application. You can do this with Activities.
There is a new set of commands for Drag and Drop, though I am still trying
to get a handle on how to use them.
There is a new method of carrying out non-contiguous selections in lists,
though the old one also still works.
Quicknav now has its own Commander, and in addition to using the arrow keys,
you can use single letter commands on the web to move by header, link, frame
and so forth. You can apparently customize this as well.
I'm sure there are other things, but those are what come to mind right
now.
