DHCP questions

[Dekade]

Should be fine. Depending on your usage, maybe overkill.

Amahi can run on a machine on much less hardware. See the minimum hardware requirements for more info.

I am running my HDA on a VM, with 3 x 1TB drives. Works fine for me.

Yep I have gathered that Amahi requires less. However, the price is good, and it is a 'real' server box. I don't know about the speed and stuff but yet you stated - 'might be overkill'. I guess that says it's okay.

I am always apprehensive about buying someone else's equipment

...Depending on your usage, maybe overkill.

I would want to eventually set up a VPN. I would eventually consider hosting my own healthcare consulting website (but probably not). Would be nice to host my own email. I really don't have a problem with the DHCP concept it's just that I would need to still be able to do WiFi at home someway so that I can access the internet via my phones. I would need to have a printer on the network. Need to share basic data files. Probably will use CIFS. Will figure out the accounting issue; probably the cloud. Probably will have to give in, again, and consider doing CRM in the cloud. Scared to death of the cloud and it's security. Seems like I feel that everyone can see my data. Must be OCD.

Can you elaborate on exactly how you go about this and for what purpose do you do so??? VM = Virtual Machine???

Yes it will work, but might be a power hog. This is designed for the corporate environment and often consumes more power than a PC doing the same job. Be prepared for a higher utility bill.

Amahi application store has CRM applications available for install.

It can be quite complicated. Check out the Virtualization article in the wiki.

I do it so I can run multiple servers and OS with ease. Many corporations run virtual systems.
