Server comments

[Jim Bodkikns (Dakotacom)]

   I and Sun and HP and IBM and many others respectfully disagree. :)

   My typical server has several hundred gigs of fast scsi (or raided SATA 
on the low end) and at least 4 gigs of memory. (Usually P4 on the low side 
up to Dual Xeons. That is, nothing special on the low end. Its common).

   Unless you are running boxes that shouldnt be in use anymore, you really 
dont save anything by not installing the desktop (or more). Installing the 
minimum is not a server in my opinion. It is an appliance. I am not talking 
about appliances. (routers, bridges, firewalls etc).
