<DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>am considering setting up centos as a file
storage/ backup destination for Mac's TimeMachine.<BR><BR>all my users
would get synced directly to specific folders on this machine..<BR>needless to
say space is of importance. where every user has an average 200 GB of data to b
synced (entire system)...<BR>I have 27 users hence 27 *200 equals to almost 6 TB
so I was considering getting either 4 * 1.5 TB or 6 * 1 TB to be used on one PIV
with a 1 GB ethernet.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
