That's what I was thinking but I was wondering if I had to copy something from /etc for it to work or not. It's best to be sure. ;-) I may do some mobo hunting shortly. See what little thing I can buy that is powerful enough. I don't think a Raspberry Pi is enough. It gets close tho. Biggest thing, I'd need a lot of SATA ports. LOTS of them. Thanks to all.
