OK. I'll help if you tell me how make it run without the HDD spinning up every couple of minutes. I have latest Debian with 2.6.15.1 kernel and 1 GB RAM.

Set your preferences for 'write to disk no more than once every X minutes' to a large value. Just remember that this is when checkpointing is done. So if you interrupt processsing you'll lose work.
