I recently ordered a brand new PowerEdge T105 server which came with an 80 GB hard disk. I partitioned it with LVM, installed Debian Lenny and moved over the bulk of my things from the old server to the new server. Only one thing remained: my media collection, which is stored on a 500 GB RAID1 array on the old server. That RAID1 array is also partitioned using LVM in a single 500 GB volume group.

http://www.howtoforge.com –
Ocassionally, servers need to be retasked for various reasons. It has always been a challenge when the server has a distribution other than what I need.

http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net –
"... thought I would throw this out there as I have spent some time recently getting this working.
