Is it possible to setup a file server with FreeBSD and use that as a home partition and also share other files on a small network?This cannot be predicted as long as you don't know what kind of setup you want to run (simple file server, domain controller ...), what kind of people are going to use it (people at work will kill you if their files aren't available, especially that kind who always forget their passwords) and how big the traffic on your server is.
What kinds of utilities would I need to run? I imagine NFS for *nix clients and Samba for MS clients. Also possibly share printers with this computer as well. CUPS for that.
Also what kind a minimum system reccomendations does anyone have?
So I would recommend to test your setup privately on some old machine that can install FreeBSD and then ask again for hardware requirements.

Uli.
