Well, Shizuma's HDD started giving some weird noise (it did it twice, so it's not a fluke), so I decided to keep her powered off most of the time now since I don't exactly have the money to buy another and clone it.
My only problem with having her shut off is that I lose my FTP, since OS X 10.6.8 has a easy, built-in FTP server. I can set up an FTP server within openSUSE 11.3 (and I've done it before), but it's just so awkward, and when I had to reinstall on Triela, for some reason, the FTP was very finicky.
I was "forced" to setup Firefox Sync (though I really didn't want to use it) to ease the discomfort of not being able to use Firefox on Shizuma. I kept the sync tabs option unchecked though... I don't want to have to deal with the tab groups opening and closing when I don't really need them.
It would be nice if Firefox Sync also took care of installed addons, but oh well..
Well, I hope I can muster up some money soon and get a new HDD for Shizuma and get that process rolling... Maybe I should check the option to power down the HDD when possible (whatever OS X calls it, if it has it...).
