[Wolves] Sugestion For New server to manage small network of 4 window pc

Fri May 27 13:40:26 UTC 2016

Hi All

I can see lot of member here deals with server and networking, so I want to
take some advice. Although I am playing with GNU/Linux for the last 20
years for my desktop at home but I never used any dedicated hardware /
software for network management server etc.

My small company have 3 windows computer.

I needs a file server which I am currently using old computer with ClearOS
installed on it. Which is working. I currently use a router for internet
and wireless access.

I want to install a accounting software (which is unfortunately window
based) on server using virtualbox.

What your thought are ?

Should I use new dedicated server as gateway, file server and to manage
window machines?
What are reasonable hardware specification for my needs and which software
should I use? (ubuntu, ClearOS, etc).

Does any body from you supply hardware?
