speed (I think) and how many RPMs the hard drive does (as linuxsampler
is streaming from disk). Also, linuxsampler can run headless, so you
probably wouldn't need X.
Really, the minimum drive speed for sampling should be 7200 RPM, and
best to keep your samples on a separate drive from your OS & software.
If you use an external drive for samples, use eSATA or Firewire, USB
just doesn't seem to have the bandwidth for handling sample data.
