yes, i know. It is possible to bring a hard drive, I understand issues. I can absolutely bring a hard drive, concern is 64 bit OS, i believe you have capability. If someone has 64 bit computer, and ability to connect my HD, we are good. HD is clean, but should i install Vista to facilitate dual boot? I now have a new computer, since last time i transported computer motherboard cracked. I cannot afford to buy another. I am not in neighborhood, so transport is scary. I can hotswap HD, so options are dependent on your variables. Extreme thanks for your concern. I know, what a pain. My Hardware I should be able to configure at home, but it is generic setup, that may help. I do not have any special hardware setup, Ubuntu Desktop installed easily from live CD. If you need any more info, let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Kendrick" <n...@sonic.net> To: "lugod's technical discussion forum" <vox-tech@lists.lugod.org> Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2010 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [vox-tech] home server
