All too true, but the MS platform is better supported when it comes down to it, and no I didnt mean by what they use inhouse I meant as in with general experiance using a Debian Sarge machine and a Win 2K SE machine the windows one works better( im not couting the OS itself and its performance since the better OS without contest is Linux. Widnows memory handeling in itself is the biggest drawback to its use) if only because as always a widnows binary is coded with care and then ports it to linux as after thought.. for one server yes you can use either of those two drives and go with 512 ram but you will see better timing with 1GB of ram. but as stated earlier by Mr. C. Mcleod in your case you will do fine with the 7200 and 512.
