Yeah the 206 is a great base model .. sata is also an option on these now.
base model 80G sata from about $800

I was thinking of an actual server box rather than DIY e.g Compaq IBM etc.
with somewhere around these specs;
- Mid-level processor e.g P4 rather than Celeron or Xeon
- 1GB RAM
- 2 x ~ 200GB drives in RAID 1
- Extra 2 x ~200GB hot-swappable SATA drives for backup
- In a tower case
What is my best bet for out-of-the-box (or close to) Linux compatibility?
IBM X206
- add the required memory + the extra drives (I'd go for SCSI rather
than SATA) - forget the HOSTRAID let linux/kernel RAID do the work.
- btw - I liked the tape option. Far more robust.
