I will be upgrading soon to a faster box. This will leave me a machine to use strictly in Debian-Linux. I will use the Debian package because it seems to be the distribution least hidden (behind make-easy apps) and closest to the OS. The box will be used as a learning/development tool. Eventually it will handle internet connections, personal site hosting, LAN server, file/application server, and all the normal development apps.
Since this will be a new environment for me, I don't have any feel for the setup needs. I will start with a basic functionality and add on as my comfort level dictates. What I would like help on is the disc partitions and directory architecture--let's set it up now for ultimate functionality and safety. Until software gets even more out of hand, I am memory and HD rich. The system will consist of: PII 350 mHz, Spacewalker HOT 661, Award BIOS 192 meg ram 8 gig HD (primary master) 13 gig HD (primary slave) 1.44meg floppy CD rom (eide secondary master--non bootable) 18 gig scsi (may be moved to new winbox) tnx, gt
