Thanks everyone for the replies so far.<br>At this stage will be sticking with a Intel Atom 330.<br><br>When it comes to an OS for the server, I know a little bit (read NOT a lot) about linux, enough to get me through things... Should I look at setting up CentOS on this or is that possibly a bit too "much" for a relative "youngin" into the world of Linux per se.<br>
<br>I read somewhere that CentOS isn't for the light-hearted?<br><br>Other possible options is FreeBSD, Debian 4 or Ubuntu 8.x (I have FreeBSD and Ubunutu 8.x download the other month as I was going to put them on an old (now dead) desktop and trial, atm not doing that while I wait for some hardware (<i>before you ask, I don't even have it now. PSU went ZAP and saw some black marks along the mobo... trust me, it was OLD!</i>)<br>
