A gigabyte holds about ten thousand photographs at typical online resolution. | | Space is simply not an issue. A 250 GB ATA/133 disk can be had for under US$200. It will hold several million photographs. | | A decade ago disks were the biggest expense of running a server computer. No longer true. Now it's labor (my time) and bandwidth (the data circuits by which you access the server). | Excuse my ignorance but what is most time consuming? The reason for asking is that I would like to setup a system like this for a small group . About 25 regular users and 100 incidentals tops. Have not done any real programming since 8086(had to think hard to remember)assembler days and don,t know anything about Unix .Would it be feasible to make something that works a bit in reasonable time say 2 months spare time or would you recommend to outsource it? Hope you didn,t mind the many questions. a telyt try: http://www.leica-gallery.net/apekop/image-43551.html thanks for the explanation simon jessurun
