Hi!
I've got new new hardware coming in. This time Atom 330 and couple of 2Tb drives and probably a small 2.5" laptop drive for system. I'll "mirror" the data drives with rsync in a lazy schedule (not going to mirror them with raid).
Anyways, it's been a long time since I've tried to install openSUSE anywhere. So, I'd like to hear suggestions for what to install and how. (yes, I just saw the other thread with Atom 330 problem - I hope the Intel BIOS update fixes it for me too)
Which version of openSUSE should I go with? I'm going with 64-bit, but I mean should I install 10.x, 11.0 or 11.1 or what? The server will mostly be out of touch (i.e. I wont have access to fix things...)
Which package manage system should I use?
This is going to be file server with X (remote) for occasional other work. Maybe even screen and keyboard. Which KDE should I install? Does remote X still work out of the box (from another linux or cygwin/X)?
How can I deactivate (not install) Beagle at all? What other similar software should I specifically check and not install?
Thanks for all the tips!
