whichever you like, depends on power you need, I guess the web server
needs to be most powerful...

they say scsi makes difference, for workstation it might not matter
that much but a server should use scsi disks, it is more efficient and
the data integrity problems are less probably - this is what I've heard,
check the more technical sources for better info.
don't know which NICs to use... I had problems with latest version of
linksys LNE100TX (version 4.1) - software problems that is (the card
worked fine under win95 but not when I booted linux).
