Hm, that's nothing. That's what the server version of Windows 2000 more or
less requires without taking IIS into consideration. Not that it would run
comfortably on that configuration. It needs more memory! It does run, well
crawls more like it. But I seriously don't think that is something to
complain
about really. Everyone with a PC already has got that equipment or better.
It's rather hard finding harddisks smaller than approx. 6 gig anyway (new
ones
that is).
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not a fan of Microsoft (okay, this is written
in a
Microsoft application but what the...my Amiga isn't working at the moment -
and this
PC can do things I can only dream of achivieng on the Amiga, sad but true)
by any
stretch of imagination but complaining over a server-OS taking more
resources than a
"home-OS" seems rather silly. True, Linux or VMS for example are more
efficient
(not to mention stable) OS's but as far as requirement goes, the above specs
is low-end.
