Good morning,

I just took a quick look there and was surprised to see that a Linux
server set up and running is only using 2.8GB of disk storage.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             108G  2.8G  100G   3% /
udev                  471M   96K  471M   1% /dev


This thing is handling:
*Mail.  I've it set up to deliver mail via the usual pop3 and imap
protocols as well as their ssl enabled counterparts. It also gives me the
option of using squirrelmail.

*FTP.  It's using the standard vsftp server.

* HTTP and https.  Apache2 with PHP 5 support.

*Samba. for file sharing on the local network.

Just thinking.  what kind of storage would windows server, exchange and a
firewall take up to provide that kind of functionality?
