I don’t know about ‘best practice’, but I just set up my server machine with a very minimal Fedora installation and the packages necessary to run as a KVM host, then set up separate VMs for each actual function; I find it easier to keep things organized and compartmentalized this way. So I have separate VMs for mail serving, web serving and IRC proxying.

I’d be quite wary of combining the firewall duty with the other various duties you want to give this machine, personally I always reckon it’s better to keep the firewalling duties in a dedicated box. I just use a regular consumer router running dd-wrt.

Also I fail to see the 9 SATA ports on the reviews I found on the net. There are 6 on the Intel raid and 2 on Silicon. (I was curios to see a MB with so many ports but I suppose it’s another typo )

Really can’t wait to read how those 7 ancient hdds will cope with today’s requirements. After all, 7Gigs of space isn’t very much.
