For Samba, virtualization will be absolutely no bottleneck. It also
makes recovery much easier, should the server be unable to boot.
As far as "no domain," that's never a good idea. Even Microsoft
doesn't recommend such for Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMB,
and hasn't for a good decade). Running dnsmasq is cake, it just
reads the /etc/hosts file and shares it out as DNS. ;)

P.S. The server doesn't have issues with an USB drive attached?
I've always had an issue with such over a few days, because USB
... well ... just sucks. ;)

Bryan,
This is a client that only calls me when I am needed. For this reason,
I want to make their system as simple as possible. They operate with a
single file server which could EASILY be a simple file server with no
domain necessary.
They all have XP on their desks and a VPN for remote access. Backups
are a USB drive directly connected to the server. This is not running
Apache or anything else.
