HW setup check + some questions

[ChrisVanBael]

Amahi seems very interesting for me.
Currently I have a Windows XP machine (MSI K8M Neo-V with Sempron 2800+ and 512MB ram) as file/SVN server.
I would like to transform it to an Amahi server for my home: Win XP/7, Mac and Linux clients. (max 3 at the same time)
I know RAM is little low, but it should be sufficient for my use I guess.

HD setup would be:
160GB IDE drive for OS etc.
250GB IDE drive as scratch (or would this be better added to the Greyhole pool?)
2x 1TB SATA, 750GB SATA as Greyhole pool.

Currently these disks are NTFS formatted.
Do I install the first in the machine, then install Fedora (and format them) and then install Amahi?
Or first install Fedora + Amahi on first disk and then add other disks?

Some questions:
- Currently WinXP is configured for Wake On Lan and S3 standby, is this easy to do under Amahi/Fedora?
- Can I later easily remove 750GB disk and replace it with bigger drive (2TB for example)?
- Can I later easily transfer all disks to new Amahi server complete with all Amahi settings? (so change motherboard/cpu)
- Is there also a SVN app for Amahi, or should this be run under Fedora?

I can only answer a few of your questions.

512Mb is OK for Fedora 12. For Fedora 14, you have to have AT LEAST 512Mb for the install, it can run on 384Mb. Thing is many systems 'steal' memory for Video, and then the F14 install goes into text mode.

In the install, partition all your drives for Linux. Either just ext4 or LVM and then ext4 in that. It is not hard to replace any drive other than the base system drive, but you will have to fiddle with fstab.

phpmybackup will backup the database, but you will still have to install all the apps. Consider using DD to move the setup to the new drive. And no I am NOT good at this.
