I think this fits best in this section.
I have a little home server, to backup stuff, stream videos. (not Hi def stuff)
Specs:
Intel D945GCLF2 (ITX)
Atom 33 @1.6Ghz
1GB DDR2 333Mhz
I have 2 HDDs in there, both WD6400AAKS 640GB. I have one split into a 30GB partition (OS), and the rest for storage. No optical drive, use external if needed.
The question is, should I put my SSD OCZ Vertex 30GB in there? I am guessing if I do this, that it will have less strain on the OS HDD? I currently have 16Gb free of my 29GB partition.
Now that I'm thinking about that, I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. (umm, think i made a boo-boo there when I did that, but it works fine ) I am unfamiliar with any version of Windows Server. I tried to install some server version of Linux before (SUSE maybe?), and i got lost. I just need a GUI to get by. I do often need to remotely connect to it, being that it is headless. I can attach the VGA side of my monitor to it, but I often use it for repairing user's computers. It's a pain to go down there and disconnect it. I tried already, I cannot automatically remote connect it. Unless there is a program that lets you do that.
So suggest to me, what to do...
