It looks like i'll be going with Red Hat. Maybe later i'll try out Debian.

ya, so i found out. I guess i'll be going for 300 minimum =)

Well, it's not going to be doing anything die-hard. Print Server, mail 
server, ... i'll have all the hard drives shared anyways.

okee.. i'll hafta pick up another 4 megs ram then.
thanks for the help mike.
