The server will be for my "flat-sharing community"; maybe also as a proxy. |
| 14 |
I'am still not sure about the services i want to provide - maybe http/imap |
| 15 |
ftp/mysql/ssh/nntp.. And I won a 80GB HDD for my backups from my notebook |
| 16 |
and for my mp3s.. I don't want to throw the 2GB drive away ;-) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
You see, there are no important things on the server for me, when the system |
| 19 |
dies ones.. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Newbie-question: When i mount /tmp on the 2GB drive, and this ones die, how |
| 22 |
can i boot and set with fdisk a new place for the /tmp? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(you see, the server will also be a training place for my, in the meantime i |
| 25 |
need my notebook for real work and can not play anymore..) |
| 26 |
