Hello Nick,

I did an experiment this last week and discovered that ArcaOS runs just fine on my HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen6 server save for the odd and poorly supported Matrox G200 onboard graphics chip.  I need to go to my parents' place and dig through my computer stuff to see if I have a video card that ArcaOS likes and will run at 1920x1080@60hz (my monitor's native resolution).  I used to have a few in my storage room but I lost all of that last October.

Then I can spread the BBS over four hard drives, giving me about 3.5TB of breathing room for the BBS.

He's gonna have to go back to work to afford alimony.
