Hi, You can run a 5 users of uv on a lite box (I do it on a notebook) Use W2003 server (W2003 is more demanding in ressource like UV, it can run on XP too ). To switch from sco to windows, you must use *uvbackup* tool into sco to prepare a file, then copy these file to windows and use

Seems to me a move to Linux would be better since they are probably more familiar with a nix system. The spoolers are completely different. Whatever way you do decide then you should use uvbackup and uvrestore to move your accounts. It's simple from either the command line or the Uniadmin front

Mark, I'm moving a client to a new server right now. The specs we are using are Dual Core Xeon 5140, 4 GB memory, with Windows 2003. It sounds like you could get away with a much smaller system. I shy away from using desktops as servers, so I'd recommend you go with a rack-mountable if

Cost-wise, consider a dual-core AMD X2 system. If you have a little more funds, the 5140 or 5150 Xeons are well cached chips for the money. Either way, get a dual-CPU mainboard that is one-CPU capable so that you can drop in an upgrade chip later as CPU demand increases. (Trust me, it will..)

Why do you need uvbackup? I'm NOT recommending that you don't use it, but a while ago I had a linux box, a SCO box, and a Windows box, and quite happily copied UV files between all three of them using the OS-level copy command. Bearing in mind they all run on Intel chips, and byte order is a chip

Sorry.. I meant dual-core AMD Opteron for a Windows server, not the X2 64 chips. You can do fine with X2's on an unstressed Linux server. You will want to look at the Opteron 200 series for 2-way setups. The 100 series Opterons are for single-CPU setups. You *can* run one 100 series CPU on a

Chips aren't noisy. The cooling systems on them and in the cases are. That's Dell's ducted single-fan passive CPU cooling at work. I have AMD's all around here, as well as one Xeon, and I have relatively low noise. I build servers here to my specs and one of the things I strive for is low-RPM

Wol, One reason for using uvbackup is that the index file path names within UV are hard coded and I have had interesting issues when not using uvbackup to move work directory/accounts around between machines. Also, it gets rather tedious setting up the many VOC entries for the OS files again.
