As some may note, I've been haphazard at this, and this server is about the first chance I've had here to Ask First.

I have mess of desktop HD's (and a 4-drive NAS that I found to be useless with the macs) with a mess of duplicates of duplicates of random attempts at 'backing things up" , It's embarrassing and I need a structured route to archiving and access to years of projects. While I have no problem methodically wading through things, I need a Large PLace to get it all into.

Where can I get a good primer on setting up the G5 as an archive/ server? Assuming that's even the right question to start with!

It's slower than I need for real work, but can it be a main server

   Machine Name:        Power Mac G5
   Machine Model:       PowerMac7,3
   CPU Type:    PowerPC G5  (2.2)
   Number Of CPUs:      2
   CPU Speed:   1.8 GHz
   L2 Cache (per CPU):  512 KB
   Memory:      2 GB
   Bus Speed:   900 MHz

I use a 450MHz G4 Sawtooth for that purpose and it's fine. A dual CPU
1.8GHz G5 will do just dandy.
