Such hardware would probably be fine as a firewall, dns/dhcp server, but I'd recommend running the graphical yast tools remotely from your linux desktop, for best results.
Yes, thats what I had in mind, unless the price is installing stuff which would steal performance while the box is just acting as a file server.
The little box would probably be OK as a file server for backup, assuming sufficient disk space, but you will want to ruthlessly shut down any services that are system hogs (beagle, zmd, etc) as well as any unneeded processes.
Uh! Will I have to do this manually? I was hoping openSUSE came with some pre defined "server template" which would help me avoid things like Beagle in the first place. -j -- Machine Culture http://machineculture.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
