Unless something new develops, from my perspective this thread has served its purpose. I don't want to drag it out and waste people's time. If any "late readers" have insights that should be captured for the archive please add them.
Thank you all VERY much for the discussion, insights, suggestions, and especially the responsiveness. As you might gather from my several mentions of Linux, I have been using Linux for almost 10 years now and on balance am very happy. But when there is a problem, there are usually very few if any responses, they come over several days or longer, and only very rarely is any light shed. The suggestions regarding running a file server on a low-end machine will be taken to heart also. I like this machine because it has ECC memory, but in time I expect to break down and use a faster machine without ECC. Too bad Intel does not provide ECC in their desktop grade chipsets any more.
