Do you even need a server? It can't be doing much. My servers top > that in a few hours. ;) It's a P3 with 500 MHz and 256 MB of RAM only. But I think I need it. It is my internet gateway, CVS and mail server, has CUPS and FTP, and an apache running, mainly for my little company's wiki, but also for having some little space for stuff to post. It also serves multimedia data over NFS for the other systems in the house. And it's my name server, with all those virtual machines I have some dozen systems here. But there are not many user logins on that machine. It's mostly myself logging in and using the ISDN line for remote some administration. But... what the heck are your servers doing? Wonko
