What makes a good file server?
I bought a Playstation 2 with hopes of making it a server, but it's only got 32 MB of ram and I think it would be best suited for a CGI/database server. Now I'm looking for a good fileserver that will send really big files across the network.
How fast does a fileserver have to be? Would it need a slow, yet powerful processor to get the data out the door, or would the processor have to be both fast and powerful?
Thanks.
--- And another thing:
How much ram is enough. Older computers can only hold so much. Is 256 MB enough?
