mmmhhh... I guess I have to go and try the software I need and see whether
or not it performs well enough fotr my purposes. If I simply could find
some docs on how to proceed not to have to do much research on my own...

I was saying this because you said perhaps the limiting factor was the hard
disk... but anyway, most probably your'e right.

I don't think it is. I actually don't think any Windows could even be close
to any Linux system regarding networking, stability and/or security.
Security is not a big concern for those systems, since they are thoughts
just as "terminals" for users; but stability and ease of maintenance is an
important one... that's way I would like to go with Linux.
