need help with new server setup plz
server info:
2x 3.4ghz 800fsb, 3x scsi 150gb, 8gb ddr2ram, 2 hdd's mirror array, third hdd for backups, software=cPanel/WHM(latest), os=freebsd 5.4 (i386), planning to host 100-150 clients in local small country(.ee).
question #1:
preparing partitions, whole drive for freebsd, but how much for :
/
swap
/usr
/var
? need more dirs? like /home? or I can make A = Auto Defaults for all! ?
(I never used freebsd as a server, so do not what are the amounts so server will have enought swp etc.)
question #2:
setup::Choose Distribution, what to choose?
As a CPANEL/WHM needs clean install of os, what option should I choose? Developer/X-Developer/Kern-Developmer/X-Kern-Developer/User/X-User/Minimal or ALL?
question #3:
Network Configuration?
do I need to configure it manualy right now? since I am installing os at home and router has DHCP and gives everything automaticly, and then in datacenter I will put correct values wich I get from admins? or it is better to put everything like it will be in datacenter.
after these steps everything seems to be setup and server ready to get into cabinet in dc?! I am right? and then I can proceed with cPanel setup?
sorry if my questions are too stpd, newbe to unix servers, used it only as a workstation(installed with defaults).
Thanks to everyone who shared thoughts about my probl.
