The latest stable version is 5.6update5. You can view the manual here http://edocs.mitel.com/6000_SME_Server/6000_MAS_rls5.6/Admin_Guide_html_EN/index.html You will need to apply some updates to this version which can be found here http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/e-smith/updates/5.6/Update5/RPMS/ and instructions for installing these updates are here http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/e-smith/updates/5.6/Update5/README BTW Version 6.0 probably isnt that far off (currently at beta3). HTH

As for minimum config:  I have an emergency box that can be thrown into use as a router and/or file server that's a Pentium/200 MHz with 192 megs of RAM.  It's quite acceptable in use and has weathered some hard duty.  My home LAN server is a PII/233 with 256 megs and quite comfortably handles Gallery, NetJuke, InfoCentral, does gateway/router duties with printer services and hosts a few webpages for friends & family.  Server Manager loads in 5-6 seconds.

Also, if you download the v5.6 iso and burn a CD, you will find the manuals in the documentation folder on the CD.

The minimum recommended hardware specs are in the manual.
