I have a little Dell PowerEdge 400SC running RedHat 9.0. We plan on using the machine to backup the webserver on a nightly basis along with serving up Windows files (Samba) and be a caching proxy server (Squid). I was wondering what else we could use it for in the small office?

DHCP/Firewall is currently handled by their router. DNS is provided by the ISP. So those are covered.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I want to make sure we use the machine to it's fullest potential.
