<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.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
