Indeed, atlhough I have a bit of a love/hate relationship going on with Linux. I find it makes quite a decent server and will happilly use it on server machines and get along with it fine.
But I just can't seem to find a Distro that I actually like to use on the Desktop, I always seem to end up going back to running windows :-(
Was originally going to run a ZFS based storage appliance in a VM but quickly found that's just not a good idea in terms of performance and gets overcomplicated quite fast.
Guess where I'd been playing around a lot trying to find a configuration I was happy with I was still stuck in the mindset that I'd need to copy the data to the new filesystem.
Currently got Centos 5.5 + Webmin + Cloudmin GPL (KVM version) installed
Not tried creating a KVM based virtual machine yet mind.
Running x64 with 5gb ram on one of those HP microservers, now just need to remember to send off the cashback form in the next couple of weeks
Also need to install some kind of DLNA/Upnp media server.
