Hi! Im sice i have my one personal ftp server (public) working i was thinking to buy an harddrive of 60Gb Ibm 7200. I have a sd11 from via (motherboard) 256 Ram (gonna upgrade with more 512Mb), can linux hadle all this, im using suse 6.3, i can find a document that says that linux doesn't support, i mail to suse but they reply in german, and i realy can't understand germen. And what you think is the best distro from suse? I really like to use suse, it was my first linux distro that i start using(well 1st was red hat 6.0 but two weaks latter i unistalled) and so far i like suse, very stable very fast, sometimes having trouble to install some programs, but im learning how to install those programs, and you guys are teatching me! :D
I was thinking to upgrade to suse 7.3, is it good, and because i can't install xine to view Dvd's, but they told me here that suse 7.3 has that already installed :)
Thanks for all your support, and im sorry if this is tool long and confusing
M3rlin thanks to all of you out there :)

iirc linux handles up to 64GB RAM and I don't think there's a limit of the amount of HD space (and if there is one then it's certainly not 60GB) If you want to you can send me the reply SuSE sent you and I'll translate it. Although babelfish should make it legible, too. As far as upgrading is concerned, I don't know about 7.3, I watched the jump from 6.0 to 7.2 and I was majorly impressed.
