I found a step-by step from a guy who built a headless file, FTP, P2P server using an old PC and the Xubuntu distribution. It turns out there are a lot of holes in his example. Some of that is because of my immense dearth of knowledge in this area and some of it is my newer version of the software. It's running, but the computer is REALLY slow...The CPU is averaging 100%. Don't know if something is eating up all the cycles or if the CPU is just that old. It's an old AMD of some sort. And honestly I don't know if it's really working as a server or not yet let alone controlling it from another location or whatever.. I have a lot of questions... But I'm off to Minn-e-so-ta for a couple days of training on the Yamaha PM5D so I can't really mess with it at the moment.
