People also uses all kinds of OS for thier server . WHS " windows home server " or OSX there are bunch of mac minis doing server duty around the world .
Linux OS are plentifull some are clearly made for headless ( no screen or keyboard conected ) server duty and have no GUI aka desktop with graphics and click and piont interface . But usually comes with a remote web interface . But many Linux comes with a desktop to . In these cases you will really understand why LMS has a web interface it's aviable to all computers on your network . So when your setup the servers share will be mounted as an extra drive when booting up your computer and LMS is aviable via the web browser so you add files remotely and initiates scans via the web-UI . The server can be in a closet or in the basement . So that's headache 4. Endless possibilities of server choice there is no "best solution" . Linux could also be a NAS in some cases as simple as installing an add on app from the manufacturer or a complete mess if LMS is not directly supported :) I use a HP Microserver with ClearOS Linux ? The HP Microserver is used as vortexbox by some and WHS by some other users. And in my opinion there is a headache 5 , non x86 CPU there is also a "surprise" hidden somewhere when using more low power CPUs like arm or similar for the server 1 or 2 core Atom is a good compromise for my use case . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98291 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
