Thanks for that. I recently bought an 8GB card off eBay (for my silent server project). Luckily it looks like it's real.
Silent server? Keep me informed sounds interesting and efficient
Will do. It's for our home office so our storage requirements are low. I have an 8GB CF card and an IDE adapter (well, 2 actually - one for later). I'll use an old mobo I have and a very basic graphics card. I'll use one CF card to set it up and establish that it all works, then add another (one for /, the other for /home) and rebuild. Later I will put in a real HDD (for photos etc) but if I get
hdparm right it will sit at idle until it's needed.
Got the idea from
Linux Format a couple of months back
