    Ok

    I have a server here to play with

    Proliant 1200
    266mhz, 512 ram, cdr, 24gb tape
    Hdds: 2x 9gbs, 1 x 18gb - smart array

    I`m hoping to use it as my first linux server to cut my teeth with, to start with it will be used as a File Server for storing doucuments.

    I have access to rh9 and drake9.1 and debian.

    I`m more comforatable using drake, anyways i forsee me reinstall various os`s onto this before i settle with a configuration.

    Some help need, on the arrangement of the hard drives, do i put all directories onto one HDD and just format the other two as ext3.

    Ive used SMB with webmin before, seems easy enough to use.

    Please dont reply with "oh use gentoo etc." or if you link to a detailed and easy to use install guide :D

    Anyway im throwing drake on at the mo, see how it goes

    Partitioning is up to you and how much storage you will need versus redundancy/failover and recoverability in the event of a crash.

    / -1 gb
    /usr - 5gb
    swap 2x ram
    /home 2 gb
    rest of disk 1 (p0rn space).

    disk 2 (files) for serving.

    Tape drive takes a crond backup every... oh... 6 hours of disk 2.

    Don't forget to charge a big fat setup fee.
