[WinMac] New NT Server

I am freelancing at a printer who just had Intergraph install an NT server
with Color Central and TrapWise.

My question is:

There is a single RAID array partitioned into a C and D. C is 2 gig and has
the system files and Color Central (with spool folder) and TrapWise. D is a
~16 gig volume with a fonts folder and a working jobs folder. The only
page file is set for the C 2 gig volume.

I question the wisdom of this.

I seems to me that have the system on a separate disk would be a good idea.

It seems to me that applications such as Color Central and TrapWise would
be better off of the system volume and in a place where they might have
more room for spool files and such.

It seems to me that the RAID divided into 4 gig volumes would make working
off the Macintoshes more sensible.

They are recommending setting up a fonts folder on the server so that we
don't have to download fonts in the print stream. Our clients send us a
variety of fonts to use on their jobs. What is the point of downloading all
those fonts manually?

Thanks in advance for the comments...
