No not AWOL, just been busy with other stuff.

As Ian says a 32GB SSD would enough, just depends if you are going to run VM's as these take up quite a bit of drive space, also torrents take up a lot of space too, especially if you seed back 1:1.

Hi Andy,

Re VMs and Torrents, just as a FYI, I've configured mine so they run on a "data" partition. Keeps the OS partition nice and clean and for the VMs it means I can wipe the OS if required without affecting the VMs.

Ahh I have not been able to get that stuff to work.

I am looking forward to 12.04LTS been released in April, is there a way to update to a newer version other than wiping the boot drive and starting again
