What would /r/linuxadmin recommend for an entry level server?
I am thinking about a 1U rack mountable server, maybe Xeon powered with 4Gb and 4 1TB disks, but I'd like your opinion.
The server is going to host a few services: low volume SMTP/IMAP server, CIFS file serving, low-volume web server, proxy and firewall. These services will probably run inside containers or VMs.
What do you think?
Edit: this is a system for a small business with about 10 Windows workstations. What makes and models would you recommend?
