    I had a boss who installed monitoring software on all the desktops to spy on the employees. One morning he came running over to my cube because I had the Amazon page open in the browser. I was eating a breakfast burrito from the roach coach and looking at Amazon while on break, which wasn't against company policy. I told him to bugger off. He spent more time playing gotcha than managing.

    It was the automatic update of the Nvidia driver that hosed the OS disk.

    I wasn't set up for a serial console back then. When I recently rebuilt my file server, I added a serial port for console access.

    When I tested wireless clients at Cisco, I installed the GUI with Fedora or Mint because I needed to run YouTube video in a loop. The division chief wanted to fire me for using 75% of the wireless bandwidth for YouTube. He didn't realize that I had 30 laptops running YouTube video and supporting 300 users without a hiccup in network performance. All the YouTube videos were from the Cisco channel, which included several interview with him. Nothing like seeing your face on 30 screens.

    Regardless of the file system, I don't believe Ubuntu makes for a good file server OS based on my experience. I switched to FreeNAS five years ago because Ubuntu kept hosing the OS disk whenever the Nvidia drivers got updated. Maybe things has changed since then. Maybe not.

    ZFS wasn't design for mobile systems. FreeNAS requires a minimum of 8GB RAM and 1GB per every 1TB of raw storage for optimal ZFS performance.

    The last time I rebuilt my PC was for Windows Vista in 2007 and never felt the need to go beyond 4GB since then. My rebuilt FreeNAS file server has 8GB, which is a specialized system that requires more memory as raw storage capacity increases over time.

    As my college instructor said when explaining the 32-bit CPU in the early 1993, 4GB is enough for everyone. I topped out at 4GB when I rebuilt my PC for Windows Vista in 2007. My newly rebuilt FreeNAS file server has 8GB and I plan to expand to 32GB as I add more hard drives in the coming years. When I rebuild my Windows PC next year, I'll probably go for 8GB.
