RH 7.3 patched to the max
Software RAID 5 array w/ 3 disks + another 80GB (RAID b/u) + 2 GB system
disk
AMD 700 MHz cpu
Runs SAMBA for the Windows machines in the house (1 Win95 and 1 Win2K Pro)
IPTables for security
rsync scripts for backing up that kick off according to the cron entries
Windows Backup running on the Win2K Pro machine on a scheduler that backs up
to shares on the file server

Pretty simple, really. (I like simple)
