This is exactly the situation I'm in. In case you don't know, I work for AMD, and we happen to do a lot of this sort of thing, beleive it or not :) How many clients are you talking about? I would strongly reccomend looking into some sort of network attached storage device. We use Network Appliance machines. At my previous employer we started out with a pair of Suns and hardware raid 5, then went over to the NetApps. They just serve files for a living, and they do it well. My $0.02 (and no, I don't have NetApp stock). --rdp -- Rich Payne http://talisman.mv.com _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
