Hi All,

I have a small workgroup to manage (about 25 users but not more than 10 concurrent users). The current mailserver is a P2-350 with 512mb ram, but the machine is slowly dying.

Since budget is almost not available, im thinking of using a used G4/400 and running 10.3 server. And just have to pay for server licence and some extra memory.

My questions are:
Does anybody have any experience in running OS10.3 server on a G4/400? Does is run stable? Does it perform acceptible?
Will it support some light filesharing and some email traffic (for about 25 users)?
If in the future the data demands grow, can i add like a firewire drive to enlarge harddiskcapacity and fileshare these fw-drives over the network?

Thanks in advance for any information..

Cuckoo
