[nmglug] Ready for fresh install on Thu 17 Jan

[Brian O'Keefe]

Exactly what I did. I use the HDD as a backup or just a drive to store 
pix, etc. You could install a distro onto the SSD with it in the 
enclosure. You'd have a cd or thumb drive with the install version of 
whichever distro. Debian is simple really. Then you could reboot from 
the remote SDD and check everything out. I would be really surprised if 
you had a glitch of any king. The Gnu/Linux distros have gotten very 
good and easy set up.
