New Linux server at home

[Eric Shubert]

In that case, I'd put VMware Server on it (or the virtualization 
platform of your choice), and run QMT as a guest.

I think I'd use a 2x160 mirror for the host. If there is a lot of user 
data, I'd use the 2x400 mirror for user data and the other 2x160 mirror 
for guest VMs. If you don't have that much user data and want to have a 
boatload of guest hosts (not necessarily all running at once), you might 
want to use the 2x400 mirror for guest hosts and the other 2x160 mirror 
for user data.

Just a suggestion.
