In that case it sounds like:
Old through away PC + free NAS distro = local storage server
I've used FreeNAS very successfully in the past. I believe that has actually
become NAS4Free however if I recall correctly. I believe the former was
purchased by a commercial entity and the free version forked, moved, whatever.
There are several available options in that arena, but those are the 2 (or 1?)
I've worked with to any degree. A quick google should net you several others
as well.

Subject: [NTSysADM] storage spaces?
Any opinions about this? I was looking at it as an option for storing backups
and maybe for media and backup server at home. A simple box with some NAS
drives would be more economical than dedicated RAID hardware.
Thanks.
Bill
