Sure you can, but why have the only unix box on a network be the server, and then
have to run software on it just so you can share drives and printers? Besides,
who's going to administer the thing? In most small offices, they do not have a
dedicated techie and training the secretary to be a sys admin makes no sense.

I've run memory intensive programs without that ever happening. I guess it would
depend on what you are trying to run on it. Never had a BSOD because of a
program, always because of hardware.

We aren't comparing apples to apples here though. I've run web stats programs
that didn't eat memory like HitList, but it runs much faster than WebTrends and
some of the others.
