[cobalt-users] good idea - Raq 2 as backup-fileserver?

[George Simpson <gasjr4wd@xxxxxxx>]

I have a Raq 2 (mips) that I haven't had online for some time, and even then it was just doing one small site with mail.
My question is, would loading it up with a few big drives and using it as a file server or on line back up a good idea? I was thinking I could have retrospect from my OSX server dump files or just ftp to it or something. Speed doesn't matter to me, as long as it would be done by morning... (10/100 switch)
What is the largest disk the OS can read? I also have a Qube2 OS I can put on it. If another OS is easy, I may try that. I have noticed a few others have talked about that on this list, (*BSD, some other Linux, etc.) but I didn't find any results on how it went.

If I don't get any comforting replies or comments, I may just may go back to loading it with static sites and using it for what it's designed for. I know it's EOLed. Any problems with the final version from Sun? I'm tired of seeing this thing just sitting not doing anything.

*I don't think this was hashed out recently. I've been dealing with a lot of spam and some of the digests were trashed.

TIA
