It needs to be running Leopard, Server is not required. Leopard client  
can also do mail and web serving pretty easily.

The Time Capsule can support multiple Time Machine clients . . .if  
space becomes an issue I believe the USB port can be used for drives  
but I'm not sure that they can be used for Time Machine as opposed to  
just Airdisks (if that term still applies).

I get around the size issue by not bothering to Time Machine the  
system and application files on the laptops my wife and I use . . .all  
that gets backed up is /Users, the shared /Music folder, and the /Junk  
folder which is the standard download and catch all location. My iMac  
file server has it's own dedicated Time Machine drive and doesn't back  
up over the network.
