What I need.
It depends on what you want to do... My server has LAMP (Apache 2,
mySQL, PHP5 w/Suhosin) installed, and I'm currently looking to put a
personal mail server on, since I have a static IP and would like to
know more about mail server configuration and DNS anyway. But the
securing of these services should be well reviewed prior to putting
them online. I have a second Ubu server which serves as a LAN file
server for media and ebook files, but, other than those, I don't have
a use for much else. If the box had more drive space, I'd say give ESX
server a try, since you could build multiple virtual machines and
network them together, but 14GB isn't much real estate such an
experiment unless your virtual machines are restricted to smaller (~1
- - 2GB) spaces. You didn't mention the amount of RAM in the machine, so
I'm not sure what the capacity is there. ESX can soak some memory if
you decide to look into it. A media server might be an idea, but
again, you'll need storage, since the files are minimum 7 to 800 MB
for avi, and upwards of a couple of Gig for iso files.


Hope this gives you some ideas...

Jack
