hi, when myself and a flat mate move into a house in July, we want a central file server, a hardware firewall (like IPcop) a print server for two laser printers, an e-mail server (if this is possible) and a teamspeak and ventrillo server.
I was wondering the best setup for this and what hardware would be best? We have three PCs that could fulfill the role :
AMD XP1700 w/ 512Mb PC2100 etc X 2
AMD S939 A64 3200 Venice iirc. with 512Mb Ram PC3200 - this PC could be used for other purposes, so will the 1700's work ok?
Also for an OS, what choices do we have? We have very limited knowledge and experience with Linux, we have had a look at CentOS and was wondering what people could reccomment to fulfil our requirements?
Cheers
