OpenSUSEArch[3] on 380GB Btrfs root, 620GB XFS /home, and 16GB swap on SSHD[5], and 128GB XFSext4 boot on SSD, with QEMU/KVM[6] hosting CentOSFedora on 128GB XFSext4, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on 50GB ext4, and FreeBSD(with tcsh and FreeBSD Bootloader and Boot Manager) on 50GB UFS, each in qcow2 virtual disk format.
[1]Alternatively, quad-core Xeon.
[3]Alternatively, OpenSUSE as host. If possible, Red Hat Enterprise Linux desktop edition.
[4]Insert citation.
[5]Don’t know if swap would be in NAND flash cache. If so, ext4 would be 620GB.
[6]Otherwise, Xen. OpenSUSE would be used.
Inspired by Dell PowerEdge T130 and OptiPlex 5000; HPE ProLiant ML110 and HP EliteDesk(don’t know what model); and Lenovo ThinkCentre(again, don’t know what model) and ThinkServer TS series(again, don’t know what model).
We’d use a router and a modem with USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, DSL, and TV ports.
