Which server: Standard or Advancd

I'm about to install Leopard server and have a few questions. First, a little background. I've bought a new disk and will do a clean install then migrate data from Tiger server. This is a home server that runs mail, web, VPN, and file services. I'm familiar with unix/linux, and used to run linux as my server until things got too complicated for me to keep up with. I switched to the Apple server in the hopes that they had wrapped the complex configuration files with nice GUI. This mostly worked out except that I did go edit the config files to get a few things to work. I never got FTP working right. I hope that Leopard will go a little better. Apple's documentation shows that the Standard server does everything I want EXCEPT for FTP server. I'm tempted to go with that because I want a simple server. But I'm concerned that I may find the Standard server makes some simplifying assumption that does not work for me and then want the advanced server. Apple's documentation says that I can switch to advanced server, but I've read comments on the web that this does not really work. I do want FTP. I'm thinking that maybe I can manually configure that outside of the Standard server. Or maybe run some 3rd part FTP server. Or, I could do the initial setup as Standard then switch to Advanced and configure FTP. What advice do you have? Will the Standard server be sufficient? It is feasible to start with that then switch to advanced? Or should I just go with full advanced server? Thanks, tom
