i am currently using a 700Mhz netbook (with two external 2tb hard drives in a raid1 array) as my file server I have also used a nettop based on an old thread I asked, Paul replied with: "i can vouch for the QNAP TS-219P and the HP ProLiant Microserver as good options. The former is a very small, quiet 2-bay NAS - on mine i wiped the factory firmware on and installed Debian squeeze. It's ARM-based, so its CPU power is not great, but it does the job. The latter is an x86-64-compatible server with 4 SATA bays and 1 DVD-ROM bay. It has a dual-core AMD CPU and so packs a pretty good punch. It's slightly larger and slightly louder than the QNAP, but is much cheaper, more powerful, and more expandable." -https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-au/2012-January/007675.html --- tom_a_sparks "It's a nerdy thing I like to do" Child of the Internet born 1983 Please use ISO approved file formats excluding Office Open XML - http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html Ubuntu wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/tomsparks -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
