The review is awfully telling. :-) > I will use some flavor of Linux on the server. If it was me, now that I'm familiar with the Linux command line (enough to install and administer SC anyway) I'd go with Ubuntu Server. But if you want a GUI there's no need to go overboard since you'll only occasionally be using the GUI, install Xubuntu (with the lighter xfce GUI). hellesangel's idea of booting to the command line would be good as well if it's easy to implement. > Right now the old systems OS is on an old 40GB PATA drive, but I may opt > to run the new server off an USB memory stick. pippin's use of IDE flash modules and his explanation of the new flash failure management techniques makes a flash-based OS partition a very interesting proposition. Googling around, there are flash modules up to 8 GB which plug directly into an IDE socket, no adapter required! -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: "I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.
