himuraken Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 My home setup is Mandrake 9.2 on MSI nForce2, AMD Barton2500XP, gig of ram, a 40gb ide WD, and two 100 gig WD's. Setup runs like a real champ. I want to make a cheap file server and still come out shining. I propose a MSI nforce2 board, same class(amd) processor, here is where I get concerned. I will have a 40 gig ide drive for the OS. I want to have two 120 SATA Western Digitals in a RAID mirror config. I have not used the nforce SATA in mandrake 9.2 Can anyone verify that these work? Preferably out of the box? I have got Samba running no problem, I guess my concerns are more hardware and performance wise. Thank for the clarification on Samba performance, I personally thought that it was faster than windows, but just wanted to dbl check. Please let me know, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
