2.2.13 + Samba + software Raid5 happilly powers my university department.
double check you don't have a bottle neck with network connectivity
though. (invest in a few 100bT cards or one of those nifty Intel gigabit
critters they released a linux driver for...)
for serious game development though, you'll still want monster local hard
drives for daily work and save work back to the server at the end of each
programmer's coding session.
