RE: Sort of OT but sort of not....

Eric,

        I didn't re-read what I wrote but apparently it was pretty pathetic, no one understood it, my aplogies. It's a file server, it's just a box holding a big 40 gig IDE drive with templates and such for all of the users and developers.
Currently it is in a PIII 600, and I could use that box as a developement box if I add some scsi's and another processor.

        So, I figured I would use this little PI 233 as it's replacement to house the shared drive. Just wondering what everyone thought of that. Thanks for the help!

Kevin,

I'm confused, are you talkin' file server or db server, or both on one machine? is this NT or Win2K?

If db server, what are you using it for? prod, dev, test...? (& what backup/restore hardware is going to be used?)

regards,
ep
