Thanks to all who reply. I will implement probably DNS and Samba as PDC services in one workstation class hardware doing software RAID 1 IDE with two drives and another Compaq ML370 box for Squid and Postfix+CLAM Antivirus+SpamAssassin+LDAP(shared address book). These will be both running on CentOS 4.2. Any pointers on how to effeciently implement this from the net? I found one from http://www.hughesjr.com which based on CentOS and another one from http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/ intended to debian? Again, thank you very much for your prompt replies.
