As a learning tool with light load it probably won't be too bad, although
I'd bump the RAM as much as you can with probably 1 GB min.
Without at least RAID_1 I'd not be using it for anything Mission Critical,
and I'd be looking to do a full SBS Backup each night.
I still say that hosting a Public Website on an SBS Box ( like hosting an
FTP Server) is NOT a good idea.
But for tinkering... hey... ( as I say don't use it for anything Mission
Critical )
You may want to look at Windows Home Server when it's released.
That will probably fit your Home Environment better. ( and it will be a lot
cheaper... )

It's a P4-2.4, 768MB RAM, repurposed PC with an 80GB single drive (I have
a
250GB waiting in the wings that I can drop in as a second drive as
needed),
loaded with SBS 2003 R2 Premium running in single NIC mode, destined to be
used as a home server. None of it's work will be mission-critical, but
rather to help me learn more about the capabilities of the server. My
near
term goals are to:
1) host a website for which I own a domain name
2) host new email addresses that I will create
3) use the server to back up our 5 home desktops/notebooks.
4) explore Sharepoint and how it can be used in a home / home-based small
business environment.
5) host an FTP server
I plan to always keep my primary existing emails hosted by an ISP while I
bump my head getting the Exchange Server working right. Regarding the
single
NIC decision, I tried to read up in advance and went single NIC, to
prevent
wreaking havoc with the family's internet connectivity while I noodled
around. I'm considering dropping in a second NIC and using SBS with a
spare
wireless router that I have, configuring it for use with SBS. If
everything
works, then great. If it doesn't, I can default back to the regular
router
that I am CERTAIN will work while I keep tinkering while the family
sleeps -
lol.
