If you're more comfortable with UNIX style OSes why not use the hardware
to create a Linux master instead of a Windoze master?

I gather there are several on the list using Linux for master servers.
(We use HP-UX for our master.)

I'm not sure the hardware below would be sufficient for a master though.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Windows Master Server :(

Not being a Windows ________ (you can fill in the blank)
I would like to know your thoughts on the following configuration:

Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Standard x64 Edition
Service Pack 2

Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz
3.60GHZ, 5.93GB of RAM

Proliant DL360 G4

Is this powerful enough to be a master/media server with 8 LTO III
drives and approximately 9 windows media servers 1 solaris and 2 hp-ux
media servers all using the same 8 drives (4 in the case of HP-UX, but
that's another story).

ANY, help will be appreciated.

TIA

Regards,

Patrick
