Happy New Year Stuart,<br>
<br>
That sounds like fun. That should be fast with the mirrored striped
SSD RAID. Remember to tune your server configs to take advantage of
the massive RAM and cores I expect you have. Have you figured out
iSCSI yet? I gave it a go, quite cool but a bit slow on a 1gig
network.<br>
<br>
I've built a Proxmox based on ZFS of 8 2.7GB SAS drives. I had a
couple of drives left over so I built a FreeNAS on ZFS. In terms of
storage FreeNAS is loads better but ProxMox is great for VMs.<br>
<br>
I've also tinkered with GamerOS, this is basically what SteamOS was
supposed to be. It turns a PC into a gaming console and you use your
Steam account. It requires a Vulkan GPU which is either an HD 7000
series or later or the integrated GPU in an i5 etc.<br>
<br>
It did even get it going on my ProxMox as a VM but my GPU is only an
HD 5000 series.<br>
<br>
Regards.<br>
<br>
Wayland.<br>
