    For fun.. you here is what Luke was talking about...

    IDE to CF adapter - 10.99
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822998002
    1GB Compact Flash card - 7.15

    so for around 20 bucks you can have a solid state boot disk.

    ..just make sure that you disable caching/swap files on the CF card, or it's TOAST. CF cards have the limited rewrite capability that has been discussed in many previous topics.

    Actually, I found a computer in the trash which had a 1.7 GB drive in it, and I was planning on using that if it still works.

    I think I had XP on a 20GB drive and it used up about 4GB... it might be a little cramped on that 1.7GB, not to mention it might be a slower drive too (if taht matters).

    Yeah, I tried it on a 4GB drive, and it sucked. I don't think it would even let you install on drive that small.

    Well, if I use windows than I will put it on a larger drive. I meant that I could use the little drive if I used FreeNAS or a similar program.

    Yep... If you use FreeNAS.. 1.7GB will be more then enough.

    Bit-Tech has a walkthrough for setting up a LAMP using Ubuntu 6.somethingorother. I haven't played around much with setting a LAMP up in Heron yet, but is was pretty easy in Ubuntu 7. The longest part was by far installing the OS.

    PM me if you feel the urge for a bit more power than FreeNAS. I've got a actual NAS drive that I believe is using FreeNAS (or something very similar--a lot of the same features) as an "OS on a chip" solution.

    Also, I'm kinda surprised that Rick hasn't chimed in here yet. He's the one who turned me onto making a LAMP.

    Perhaps I'll attempt setting up Heron in LAMP mode and make a tutorial for here.

    Isnt LAMP a web serving build? Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP?
