Decided on Linux to run it, ubuntu seeming the the in fashion flavor I went with that, a few hiccups with the install via USB which worked in the end using LinuxLive.
The only problem with ubuntu being graphics drivers, apparently this server has a built in mobility radeon 4500, which caused a black screen of death.
To actually get into ubuntu was a bit of a faff, mash the shift key while it boots, this gets you into grub, hit e to edit, then after the kernel command add nomodeset. This allows ubuntu to boot properly.
When I get the basics set up, crash plan can go on and will sort it self out with backing up a remote copy of all the files I have.
More about the hardware, I like lots of little touches, the HP logo being red if you do something bad, easy HDD removal, internal USB port, and all the screws you need with their own torx key mounted inside the door.
Little things learnt this week, asp button onclientclick will allow the onclick to run if onclientclick returns true.
Paint.net is not really that bad if you take the time, lot of short cuts for cropping images which I have done a bit of this week.
Just dump zombie code and let svn handle it, so much effort to work around.
