Yeah I was thinking about going to Cent as well. But I probably won't do that until I upgrade to 64 bit machines though and just go with the appliance.
I used to run audio on a different disk a long time ago, but I hadn't bothered with these small Compaq EVO's (super quiet) since it helps keep the noise down. I guess I'll just bite the bullet and see if I can clone it then extend it then eventually put a second drive in. I find network copying in Suse 10 is just so slow when using WinSCP, about 2MBps in Windows, whereas it's a split second to copy something around on the same machine and not too bad when doing RDImports over the NFS side of things. I don't have a lot of resources, so my library is backed up on my Windows netbook more often than written to DVD. Gav.
