It's to be a file server, a mysql server and a webserver. I'd like to have
it do mailserving also, but that's not immediate. I figgure 4 gigs is more
than enough for web, a gig or so for mysql and 4 gigs for fileserving. I
generally put way to much on my servers so I can play with the new OS and
then proceed to not use it. I do want to put a webmin setup on it as I
kinda like it after using it through sonic.
