To server, I can tell you this: having a file monitoring antivirus on server =
callind troubles on your ass.
Not every server software account for unexpected file locks which could be
caused by antivirus.
And in unmanned server environment, this problem tend to rise in numbers and
take over the normal filesystem functionality quite fast.
