Server choices - linux / MS?

[Alex Faure]

Thanks Guys
Appreciate the detailed replies. Done more research myself and Ebox looks a
very good option - although I find massive support on the forums for SME
Server which also looks very good and very reliable.
Any comments on these server implementations.

On another track - being Linux - I assume hardware requirements will be
simple? entry level dual core, 1Gb RAM and RAID drives for data and separate
drive for OS and software?

Thanks again
Lex
