Hi ,
I just bought an old Siemens Nixdirf Primergy 351, with:

192 Mb memory
2 pentium 133 processors
1 harddisk of 4 gig
2 identical 8 Gig disks (for RAID 1 ?)
a CD reader
and a HP tape unit.

I want to use it as a general server: HTTP, FTP, news, mail , DNS and
DHCP, firewall and data backup for 2 or 3 users

It's connected to an ADSL modem, which takes care of internet
connection: logging in and a bit of a firewall.

Users are connected to the server-to-be, by hub.

What would be a good partition scheme ?
I was thinking:
on the 4 Gb:
/boot 100 Mb
/swap 300 Mb
/ rest of it

then I was thinking of RAIDing the 2 x 8 Gb together and use it for
/home, /etc and a partition /backup, for the net users to put their
stuff on to backup.

Questions:
how big should /etc be ?
anyone has improvements over my ideas ?
