It's a dedicated server and the 2 x 2 TB disks is what the server came
with. I' want to setup up this first machine with a minimal base system,
then move the services (DNS, WWW, and mail) from my old (slow) VPS system
to this server.
After that, all works well, I would like to setup a 2nd machine that acts
as a hot standbye that automatically takes over when the 1st server fails.
