I agree it is hard to give pointed advice without a clear view of the target. What I was looking for was a general sense of the market (Brand X good but expensive, Brand Y cheap but usable, Brand Z gave me fits) to use with a set of servers that will be providing both general file & print services and relatively small databases (Informix and MS SQL Server) with < 20 users. > Give us some more information and we might have a better chance of > pointing you in the right direction ;) > Thanks to all that answered.
