controlling headless pc - was: [Gllug] OT - general advice required on possible home setup

[Pavel Bradut Boghita]

Thanks a lot John for your comments,

Ok, I'll bite the bullet and do a fresh Debian install on one of the 
machines. Could you please recommend a partition scheme for this soon to be 
an ftp server machine (hard disk can be 2 gig or 10 gig), or shall I just 
leave one partition covering the whole disk ?

I am very interested in cluster computing, despite my lack of expertise. It 
hurts me to see how much money is being wasted on top of the range desktops 
while underinvesting in the network infrastructure.... in my workplace anyway.

Regards, 

Paul aka Pavel, Bradut
