On server-grade OSes, at some point you cover all the
basics. There's
no dancing babies to be had in smit.
But there's a little running guy!
And if you screw something up, you get him to faceplant!
I never screw up, so I never saw the faceplant. ;-)
Myself, I've decided I'll be getting a brand
new IBM server next year
for my home network. Natch, it'll be running AIX, not Linux, so I can
use all the RS/6000 and Apple Network Server software and such I've
accumulated over the years.
What kind of machine are you getting? Any idea?
I think the entry level for these machines is about $2.5-3K.
Probably a p520 Express. I'm thinking the 4.7GHz or thereabouts, and load
it up with disks and RAM. It's "just a home server."
