Yes you can do that. Where I work the policy is one main service per server for security and performance reasons. If this box is for home use/education and you don't have the space or resources for 5 or 6 boxes I would say, go for it. If you are running a business where your network is mission critical I would think about spreading around the services more. hth, kent -- I'd really love ta wana help ya Flanders but...
