Hi all,

I am about to buy a Linux box for my school that will be used as a
dialup server (8 modems only) for our staff and students, and as a
proxy, mail, ftp, WWW, DNS, irc etc server for the school's internal
network as well as the remote users.  (No news feed)

The maximum number of simultaneous users this system will be required to
handle will be 40 internal PC's as well as the 8 modem users, although I
doubt that the modems will get much use during school time.

Could someone please recommend a system (just cpu, m/b, ram, hdd) that
could handle these functions please.

Thanks.

Jason Collins
