Hello, I'm currently running SlimServer on my Windows Vista PC, which is not an ideal situation, so I'm planning on building a dedicated Linux SlimServer box instead.
So basically, a keyboard-less, mouse-less, monitor-less small form factor box who's sole purpose is to do a good job of running SlimServer. The hardware I'm thinking of using for this is a Shuttle XPC Barebone PC (model SD37P2 V2), with a spare Intel Pentium D 830 Dual Core (3.0 GHz) CPU that I have, probably 2 GB of 667 MHz memory, a cheap fanless video card (Radeon X1050), an Intel Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter NIC, DVD-ROM drive (and floppy ?), and two Samsung SATA 300 500GB hard drives. The chipset on the SD37P2 V2 motherboard is Intel 975X & ICH7R, which will give me a terabyte of hardware RAID 0 storage. Does this sound like a reasonable spec. for a Linux SlimServer ? Is 2 GB of memory sufficient ? And probably the most important question I have right now, which distribution of Linux should I be looking at running ? Any advice gratefully appreciated ! -- DLloyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DLloyd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9063 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38519 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
