If I wanted to make a setup similar to 9grid.de, for instance, or any other site that has machines dedicated to file serving or auth or cpu, do I install a file server after doing my standalone server, then have the standalone boot from the file server?
Probably the best bet is to setup your standalone system to boot other systems, then boot a separate cpu/auth server and any terminals you like. You can then configure your original standalone as purely a file server. When I had my 9grid running, I had a file server and a cpu server and configured them to point to sources as auth (so anyone with a sources account could log into my cpu server). Instead of booting a separate terminal, I just used drawterm to the cpu server.
I suppose the thing to do is email some of the people who have done this.
That's not a bad idea - of course, they should all be on this list. -eric
