<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is essentially a generic linux question, if
this is off topic here please recommend the proper venue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to set up a server that will serve as a
Gateway, Mailserver, Fileserver, Webserver, FTPserver, and
Sambaserver.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a number of SCSI hard drives ranging from 2
GB to 22 GB, and an Adaptec 2940. The box is an old Dual P200 Micron
w/384MB RAM.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My configuration is as follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sda = 2GB with /boot = 100MB, swap =
900MB, /tmp = 1000MB</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sdb = 4.3 GB with / = 1500MB, /var =
2800MB</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sdc = 22GB with /home using all of this
drive</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also have a SCSI CDR on this
controller</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are no IDE devices in this box.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have recommendations for configuring this
any better, please let me know. Also if you know of some reading on this
topic, please let me know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for all help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
