Yes, lets just say I want to run a pure media server (no app data)I want to be able to run orb (i understand thats coming to linux soon) and stuff like that. But since my last post I have found that the box I aimed to use was... well rooted. Not worth fixing considering what I aimed to do.
So my next idea was something like a 2TB HDD with my media ONLY on it (perhaps a partition off 100gb for data back up of ISOs or something if possible) and then have dual boot mode where I can either use win 7 or run a media server. I understand that with most of what I am trying to do, I can do in WIN7, I enjoy having a weekend project like this. (WIN7 and all my games / progs would be on another 500gb HDD, where would ubuntu go if this would work?)
