Marlon,<br>
<br>
Considering the timescales you work on, I would advise using the
latest LTS release of Ubuntu. It may well save you time in the long
run.<br>
<br>
For the storage, you might want to let Ubuntu do its default
behaviour, but put /var/zendto in a volume of its own at the end of
the disk. Everything in /var/zendto needs to be in the same
volume/partition.<br>
<br>
But if it's only a "throwaway" demo server for The Management(tm),
then it won't matter much as you'll almost certainly rebuild it
before making it a production service anyway.<br>
<br>
When installing Ubuntu, just do a minimal install. You might want to
install the openssh-server package to give yourself remote ssh
access to it, but beyond that the ZendTo Installer will add
everything it needs.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
Jules.<br>

access to HP ProLiant server that is now out of official
production so I thought I would use it to demo to upper
