Hi Jan, hi everyone

I asked about the hardware requirements to run a Samba 4.0 DC a while 
ago. Geza came the closest by suggesting anything that can survive a 
build of the source. After that, there's nothing much a DC has to do and 
so we end up with wasting a good computer.

Do we have any hardware recommendations e.g. what configuration would be 
best for:

- a home domain with 5 users
- a school with 2000 students

Add to that questions of security. Where do we house our DC's? Where do 
we store our file servers? I'm talking grass roots user level here. 
Like, 'I store my DC's in a room with a lock and key', or, 'I don't 
care, no one has the root password so I sleep easy'.

Cheers,
Steve.
