===Main OS Install=== Install Ubuntu 18.04 (note that the original DiGIT DevBox ran 14.04), not the LTS version from a freshly burnt DVD. Choose the first network hardware option and make sure that the second (right most) network port is connected to a DHCP broadcasting router. Under partitions:# Put one large partition, formatted as ext4, mounted as /, bootable on the 850# Partition each SATA drive as RAID# Put one large partition, formatted as ext4, not mounted on the 970 (for later)# Put software RAID5 over the 3 SATA drives, format the RAID as ext4 and mount as /bulk Install SSH and Samba. When prompted, add the MBR to the front of the 850. After a reboot, the screen freezes. Either change the bootloader, adding nomodeset (see https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/The-Best-Way-To-Install-Ubuntu-18-04-with-NVIDIA-Drivers-and-any-Desktop-Flavor-1178/#step-4-potential-problem-number-1), or just SSH onto the box.
