-
hi. i'm new here
now i use linux for router/fileserver on small network (25 PC with WINXP)i buy new small machine for router/firewall/fileserver
MB GA-m61SME-S2L
CPU sempron LE 1100
RAM 1 GB DDRII
HDD - 40 GB for OS
HDD - 2x500GB for user files in raidand think pfsense is best choice for me for router/firewall
but can i use pfsense like file server for window users and are this good idea to be file serv/router/firewall in same time or maybe must build onother machine for router/firewall

Search for NAS and you should find many responses explaining why this is a terrible idea.

make a second machine for the file server. freeNAS is build for this kind of thing, its similar to pfsense http://freenas.org
