I have the following computers.
Desktop:3.2ghz 2gb 80gb and 160gb
Laptop:1.5ghz 1gb 40gb Laptop 2 asus eee pc 4gb
torrentslave/nfs/daap server:1ghz athlon 1gb ram 160gb
Divxbox: 866mhz 128mb 1gb CF
I was thinking of getting a cheap sata card for the torrent slave. and moving the 2 hard drives from my desktop pc to the torrent slave.
Then install ubuntu on a 2gb CF card (root partition read only in squashfs) in the desktop PC, and have the home partition stored on the Torrent slave, being accessed using NFS.
a few questions:
how cheap can i get a PCI SATA (with 2 internal sata ports) card that works out of the box with linux?
will i notice any lag if i have the home partition on a network share (100Mb Wired) I only use the home partiton to store settings , not larger files?
Thanks MarkP1989
