I just checked out that Libranet website, the screen shots do show a very nice windows-like interface. Does SUSE have anything like that?

I'm downloading SUSE personal edition at home right now while I'm at work, and will definitely also try out Libranet.

I'm sure I'll end up sticking with the first one I get working for my simple purpose though.

BTW> Can you in anyway "RemoteDesktop" into these graphical interfaces? I intended to store the Linux Server in a ventilated cupboard and would really like to be able to access it from an XP PC elsewhere in my home.

3. If you want to add another H.d.D with ntfs file system simply you must edit your "/etc/fstab" and your new H.D.D will be recognised just after your first reboot.If you dont want to reboot the server you simply can mount new device using
" mount /dev/hdx /mnt/newhdd " command as root;where "x"
will be one of alphabets between a-z ;If you have one hdd
and your new device is second you must type "hdb" and if you have two hdd`s and the new device is third you must type "hdc" and so go on;

OK, that's so similar to my TiVo that I'm really comfortable with it, I take it the "mount" line will be what I put in my "/etc/fstab" folder? Going to look at local evening classes on Linux/Unix BTW, as I don't know anyone with any knowledge what-so-ever. My wife thinks I'm mad spending hours onthis, but it's strangely a lot of fun.

SYSTEMD-FSTAB-GENERATOR(8)				      systemd-fstab-generator					SYSTEMD-FSTAB-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-fstab-generator - Unit generator for /etc/fstab

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-fstab-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-fstab-generator is a generator that translates /etc/fstab (see fstab(5) for details) into native systemd units early at boot and
       when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will instantiate mount and swap units as necessary.

       The <term>passno</term> field is treated like a simlpe boolean, and the ordering information is discarded. However, the root filesystem is
       checked before all the other filesystems.

       See systemd.mount(5) and systemd.swap(5) for more information about special /etc/fstab mount options this generator understands.

       systemd-fstab-generator implements the generator specification[1].

KERNEL COMMAND LINE

       systemd-fstab-generator understands the following kernel command line parameters:

       fstab=, rd.fstab=
	   Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "yes". If "no", causes the generator to ignore any mounts or swaps configured in /etc/fstab.
	   rd.fstab= is honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while fstab= is honored by both the main system and the initrd.

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), fstab(5), systemd.mount(5), systemd.swap(5), systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8)
