Hi Guys Thanks for all the help. I bought the HP from Ebuyer and waiting for it to arrive. Any thoughts on distro please? Also the HP comes with a 250gb hd. I was going to buy a couple of 1tb as well. Put the os on the 250gb and then run data of the 1tb and mirror to the other 1tb. Any thoughts on this please?
