What operating system should i run?
I have always had a powermac g4 mdd (1.25 single core with l3 catch) that i never really used since i had a powermac g5, macbook, macbbk pro, so on and so on. But! My powermac g5 recently died and i was just about to convert it to a server for home use. So, why not just now use the powermac g4 mdd instead?
It has two 40 gig hard drives and a 250 gig one. My plan is to get a raid card and throw in 2-4 sata hard drives- probably two 30 gig ssd's and two 160's that i have laying around. Ill have to remove one of the superdrives to have all four 2.5's but i see it as worth it. The maching also has 2 gigs ram and stock video card and a pci express video card *(for secondary monitor) and two usb 2.0 pci cards.
For a machine like this with the parts i am wanting to get/ use, what operating system should i run on it and what raid card would you add to it. I want an extermely cheap one. Also, what parts/ upgrades would you do to it?
Thanks for the help,
noah
