will try to answer your questions !
i am a newbie at unix\/linux myself but my brothers are both experts although they don't tell me much.. so I think I can answer your questions to the best abilities that I can...!1)2)&3) try http://fedora.redhat.com
i have found this software quite impressive and easy to work with and also very up to date.. the software itself is fedore core 2 vs. 2.6.8-1.521 ibelieve it is GNU...linux..
this site has all the information you need to read up on the software, along with the download section amongst other options.. check it out!! pretty neat site.. !
4) i found that by using a desktop as a storage for my database using windows along with it can really enhance the use of the actual device files and storage configuration.. such as using windows to back up certain datafiles.. then when you need them to FTP for instance you mount them onto your linux hardrive do the initial processing and FTP the file to another server or computer .. ( from my personal point of view only!! i have done the same thing as you pretty much and have found linux\/unix much more diverse at maintaining these processes.. infact the only reason I use windows is compatibility with other machines or software where I may have difficulty applying the transition straight to linux.. like palm devices and storing information in a database.. mount the palm device on windows, transition to linux and you have virtual mode storage format..) but that is only my opinion I hope it helps..
5) as for snap I myself am not sure what snap is and would like to see someone answer that question for you, so that I too can get in on the secret..
yours truely moxxx68

Hi,
We have 4 T5220 servers, which are currently connected to Hitachi SAN storage solution. This is old SAN, so we are going to decommission it.

switch_root
SWITCH_ROOT(8) System Administration SWITCH_ROOT(8) NAME
switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree SYNOPSIS
switch_root [-hV] switch_root newroot init [arg...] DESCRIPTION
switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process. WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem. OPTIONS
-h, --help Display help text and exit. -V, --version Display version information and exit. RETURN VALUE
switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure. NOTES
switch_root will fail to function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point: mount --bind $DIR $DIR SEE ALSO
