I don't exactly have $2k to drop like pocket change either.  I was
really thinking about it though. :)

Actually, for simple server stuff you don't need a big system.  Right

handled by a really old dual Pentium 166 running Fedora 6.

I agree don't have the proxy but other wise I am running all that on my
400Mhz closet computer.
