Why are you looking for rackmount in particular? why not use a cheapo peepo PC

Well i have a Windows Webserver. I have it hosted at a datacenter in Lancs. I know the owner and get it on a 40 meg line for next to nothing. I will stick the new server in there and take the old one and try linux on that.

FN-GM,

 

Virtualise the server and have both.

Its not an option, the windows server will be in a remote location. It needs an upgrade anyway.

 

Thanks

So?

 

We have a Xen server (Centos Base) in a DC hosting several virtual servers including Server 2003, XP, Linux etc etc.

 

Just makes sense to me if you have space for 1 but want 2, virtualise.

Well i will be play with linux and i want it physically at my house. The current box is starting to struggle with Windows never mind Windows and linux. As i am not yet confident with linux i would have to use a Windows host.

 

Because my current machine is begging to struggle i need a new one and i might as well make use of the old one

Ah, fair enough..
