Nice to have a faster data access, but there's always bottle necks
somewhere...Give me faster network!!

 

I've seen a rumor Apple's MacBook Pro's may have the Boot OS &
Applications on Flash Memory and still have a hard drive for data.

Quicker is better in my world.

This is one of the BIG things coming which will spur me to actually
purchase a laptop. Next year is looking excellent for laptops.

Hard Drives with flash for instant on action.

Hello Richard-

Do you use Linux as a server? That's what I'm interested in.

For a Linux server to replace a windows 200 or NT server, look at
www.contribs.org. I have been using this distribution (SME Server) for
several years now, and have had no problems in plugging it in as a
Windows replacement. It is easy to set up, acts as a Windows server,
internet gateway, web server, and mail server. Administration is by a
web page. Many enhancements are available as well, from groupware to fax
and multimedia streaming servers. Hardware requirements are minimal.
Currently, we use a Pentium-1/600 with 64Mb of RAm, and 30Gb Hard disk
to support six users. Licensing is GPL.

No, I don't. But take a look at what Ivan has posted about the SME Server.
I've never used it personally, but have heard it works really well.
