Well, this might be heresy, but at that size, consider a Raspberry Pi running Raspian (Debian (sorta) recompiled for its CPU -- questions are accepted on this list). I'm on a T1, and I've been running them as Internet servers for almost a decade (replaced a genuine server). I suspect you could do RAID with a couple USB drives, and you could get the Ethernet ports you're looking for with a 4-hole switch. I use a 3+ because I want to give the 4 a couple years to get its hardware and software debugged. The disadvantage of the 3+ is the 100M Ethernet speed (the 4 claims 1G, but I doubt it). Check the speed of your 'Net connection. 100M is plenty fast for most installations. Keep a spare on hand, ready to replace the server when #1 dies. But I've been using them for years, on a good UPS, with no probs at all. -- Glenn English -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wsBcBAEBCAAGBQJe9lWvAAoJEJ/XhjGCrIwyw/AIALmPVZ1FIpYW023wC2Be zAON+RSq5kAvfx//Qyjsr/6e9WsFzJtgTGDE0nrrLoaeHriyRjD4AFVKD5qh nvzIxe+J/J7XYYQABpGYxISRqm8EA5YKAzOHxNceNJBF43E8Wi3BNbVxRd3x yhrAgge2RC4ngjEpVopKGQMKALxnKD9sz4PndX6nEsAvWpxPqF+Dp9n7gYhC FVIekMJRlqd5N6x7hnncBZY6rO0gRajnB43Xug4aHxEI7R2u1cGebCljBOv0 am2h9gOpzeRcECDvbbe5fZt7Rtgv5RODkQtS+5jyzney4vapSplm77NeWhgQ kBpCP8vXTm3HQ9Qrdqud4Mc= =MAA7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
