Hi Folks,
I've got a semi-older PC (32GB ram / i5-2500quad/ 2x 500 SSD (samsung), 2TB, and 1TB drives.
I'm trying to install a linux distro, that I can put apache and mySQL on...so I can do some web page development.
I seem to either not understand, or do it wrong..during install and I've check the manuals, and what isn't clear to me is...
If I have samsung 465GB (500GB) <<< sda >>> and samsung 465(500GB) <<< sdb >>> and I want them to be in raid, for all OI / servers / applications
I know I need a swap file of about 65GB, but is this mirrored?
Do i need a boot drive (i'm thinking 1GB), but once I put that boot drive on it seems to remove the disk from being able to put it in raid. Its the only OS on that system, my laptop is a mac, so, do I really need a /home
I'm trying to work the partioning, so I can get things up and running, I had Debian 9.5 but when I went to go put my password in, it kept failing it, so I downloaded a ubuntu ISO, I'm assuming it doesn't matter the ISO, or distro, i still can flash the usb with debian iso, its no big deal.
Just need the machine up...any help be appreciated, and yes I'm totally new to linux.
