If it would be possible to make a file server stable distribution, ReactOS could be useful right now. I think something like this would increase markedly the interest in ReactOS.

I agree that as soon as the kernel of ReactOS is stable it could already be used for some dedicated purposes, as an FTP server doesn't really need a full DirectX or WinForms compatible system. But the kernel still needs to grow more stable for that. All ReactOS needs to be used as an apache server (in my opinion) is (apart from a stable kernel) a solid login system with user permissions and everything working.

And according to roadmap, it wont be ready until 0.4
Well I dont read as many threads, but it seems to appear that the kernel is the bottle neck element here - as in the point of failure for further projects building upon ReactOS:D
Really? I didn't expect that - In fact, I thought that it was the opposite, since ReactOS is licensed under the GPL (for the record, I'm personally sort of neutral about his ideas).
Anyway, back on topic: I like the idea of ReactOS as a server. In fact, that was one of the uses I was thinking of putting it to once it gets a bit more stable.
