I'm not asking for help with a problem, I'm asking for advice.  I'm completely new to Linux and Servers, so I'm unsure exactly what I need for a server.  I currently own one computer and although It appears most people use a completely separate computer to be the "server" I'm not completely sure if I would  HAVE  to get a second computer in order to run a server.  So... my question is am I able to keep using my computer as a personal computer for internet, music, downloads, what have you.... as well as post it up as a server? Or do I have to get another computer and keep personal things separate from server things?
