Pretty powerful system. Will it be serving commercial accounts, an
office setting, or just personal use?

I'll do a bit of all of it; I'm basically new to Linux so I really look
forward to learn; I'v got a private site and a couple of commercial ones
I hope to run from home on a 24/1 Mbps adsl uplink for the time being.
Initially, they will be low volume sites but, hey, who knows :-) ?

Well, then, you got way more system than needed currently. So, when and
if you ever add customers or have increasing traffic, you won't have to
upgrade the hardware.

Also, I'd check with you ISP about hosting commercial clients. There
might be problems. I've done this via a "home" account, but as with you
it was very low volume, so they didn't object.

The only thing that might be a problem is doing the install from a SATA
CD or DVD drive.

So I suppose I'll just put the CD on a PATA port instead? Or - can I do
a network install?

That is a solution -- PATA drive, but see if Ubuntu Server can handle the
SATA drive first. Why waste time installing another drive? If it ain't
broke, don't fix it. ;-)

A network install will only work, if the CD can boot and set up a working
base system and network connection. If it chokes on the SATA drive, it's
time for Plan B.
