CCed as I think the list is unhappy with my IP address.

Even the cheapest will be completely overpowered as a file server. As they have USB 3 you can use an adapter or external bay for your drive. They're extremely low-power, essentially have a UPS and have no need for a fan. Don't forget an adapter for LAN if needed. As Dell explicitly supports Ubuntu, you can likely get Devuan working on one easily. Boot once, use their system tools to prep a restore USB stick, then install Devuan directly to it, overwriting everything. Use your external dock as a separate drive independent from your system, so you can swap it if you want to replace it and increase your drive capacity in the future. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
