- You don't need a server (or server pack) for home use on an IPC! I am
- running my own system now with X11R5 installed. You might, however, consider
- getting a 207 extra external hard disk or a 424 internal HD to began with.
- You DON'T need a 1 Gig Hard Disk and, even if you DO, you can connect it to
- the IPC anyway!!!!!!
