We've got AppleShare running as a file server and printer spooler on a Mac II
with 4 megs RAM and a 40 meg internal HD.  The machine serves a public lab
on campus.  Although student staff members do have accounts, the server is
used mostly for printer spooling to two LaserWriter IINTs.

A question for those of you doing similar things in a university setting:

Does AppleShare really use all 4 megs of RAM?  Or could I downgrade to 2
megs without suffering a slowdown?
