//how suited is it, not only to file-serving, but being a nameserver and
//news-server and web-server in a predominantly linux(/ppc) environment?

quite. i've run 3rd ed boxes in heterogeneous environments, with Linux and
Win32 clients using it as a DNS and SMTP server, also running web service.
the big "but" in your question is the "news-server" bit. there's currently
no NNTP service in Plan 9 (unless someone's done one i don't know about).
i imagine it wouldn't be too tough, but it's just not there yet.

i had the same box (or set of boxes) serving NFS to various Unix clients.
the fact that linux is running on ppc hardware shouldn't be an issue, but
if you expect to run Plan 9 on it, you've got some work ahead of you.
