well... that's definately a good way to go... but you'd give away 3-5 GB with that? lol.
i'd probably just set you up with a shell account, that would be easier, so you could manage your files with telnet and such.
the box i'd use is kinda my dev box, but i rarely restart it. no need
runs freebsd 4.7-Release. probably throw another hdd in it tho. great idea, now that i just got hlds installed ;P. lemme know.
