I'm sure the only limitation with regard to disk size will be the  
hardware it is installed into. I have a HP DC1700 tower with 4 x 350GB  
laptop drives in a four tray RAID enclosure netting a half terabyte  
home partition. Don't see any reason why bigger couldn't be done.

I'm doing SAMBA with my Macintosh network here... no probs. Does have  
to be configured and managed outside of the BO GUI. Good news is that  
disk quotas are observed within SAMBA, so keep that in mind when  
setting users up in the BO GUI.
