I'm not sure that's the best answer. If it's primarily an NFS server, any system capable of supporting a large enough, fast enough disk and network card to support your needs can cut it. I had a dual P120 running as a NAS server for years, and even that was overkill for what it was doing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
