It depends on how many concurrent accesses you get. If it's normally
accessed just by a few users, 16MB *might* work, but with 32MB you'd
be safer. I think if you plan on running X11 and your web server, you
need at least 32MB realistically.

Again it depends: if you have many concurrent users, a SCSI drive is
probably better since it takes away load from the CPU. Also, I don't
think the SRM console can boot from IDE drives. The ARC console might
be able to, but I don't think Linux can be booted via ARC on a Jensen.
Jay> Floppy? should I bother with a 2.88?
Don't see any reason why you'd want to.
Can't answer the other questions.
