For a device to house the discs, I'm considering one of these - http://www.ebuyer.com/722189-hpe-proliant-gen8-g1610t-819185-421-4gb-ram-mic... and using Debian as the OS.
I've thought about getting one of those too.
It's turned up and I've been experimenting with it while waiting for a power lead adapter to arrive. The lead is to allow me to use a 120GB SSD which I have here.
I've been trying Ubuntu server running on to a 64GB USB stick. I have a question concerning updates. I've always had my machines tell me that updates are available but only to install them when I give the go-ahead. There is however an option with Ubuntu to either auto install them or to have Landscape manage them. I've not come across Landscape before and while I could easily google it, can somebody who has experience of it tell me if it's good, bad or indifferent?
What ought to be my preferred option with installs on a server?
My only additional software install in my experiments has been to install the Open SSH server but when I finalise the install to the SSD I intend to have a crack at an Owncloud install so that I have a centralised store for calendar events and address books.
Final question concerns a CBM Flash Disk which is supposedly built in but I can't find any documentation for it in any of HP docs, and nor online. Can anybody shed any light on what it can be used for please?
