What do you mean dual boot? What am I dual booting?

What kind of information do you need for me to get "intelligent input"?
It's mainly 5-7 user system, but mainly I'm on it.  It's got Apache
webserver running to server up about a dozen webpage, that doesn't get a
lot of traffic.. about 1000 hits per month in total.

I'm running samba on it and intend to use it as a fileserver as well.
