That's what the backup machines are for. You didn't include it in your quote of my message. ;-) In any case, most of the services I will be putting in this supersized server are *not* mission-critical apps. I really do not see the advantage of spreading services like DHCP, DNS, Samba, Postfix, etc. into different linux boxes for a user population of 100 or less. Spreading them into two or more boxes would mean more machines to monitor and administer. A pretty current workstation-class machine could easily handle the load, especially if you're a micro/SMB shop who don't have the budget for a server-grade box. --- mike t. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
