Has anyone done a cost analysis for a Linux Server versus a Windows one
i can piggyback on? It's for a proposal for a Charitable Organisations
client files. My employer, a small unit of a larger NPO, so i would make
nothing on the proposal.

I had been thinking something like RAID 5 with 3 * 150GB giving 300GB
plus a backup method (cron tar to a USB HDD?).
