special, dedicated servers for a LAN might be a different story
I will be running a personal workstation. Main considerations will be web developent, running apache and mysql as a test server for my code, and personal things like browsing and email.
... my opinion is that you wont need any special configuration to optimize /swap or whatnot
I would like to install as many things as possible on this box considering that I will obviously have the space to do so. I want to explore everything that the 9.0 distro has to offer.
... no problem - at the software install portion, just select everything you want
I would also like to configure my box with consideration to easing the upgrade to newer versions in the future
... then only install suse-built packages.
and ease of recovery in case of systems failure.
