RE: Home Server - 808blogger - 11-12-2009
you should install mythbuntu,
however what you should really do is
install xen and then install a mythbunu and asterisknow each in a virtual machine. then you can have file sharing, DVR and a phone system.

Yeah, I have a couple of macs, very easy to share files etc...I have mobile me, I like it for the most part, their online email UI stinks though. Yahoo mail is way better. On the mac mail app it is awesome however. Back to my mac doesnt work, so forget about that. I have an older desktop pc (the one i am considering converting into the home server) and a windows/ubuntu laptop. I also use an external hard drive for my time machine, and just got a brand new time capsule (possibly the greatest router ever!) I like the idea of having a home server and want to do it for the experience. I just wanted to see if anyone else has one up and running. Basically you get an old PC, put a TB or two of storage in it, load the OS of your choice (for me linux, either amahi http://www.amahi.org/ or ubuntu server http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition wich are free) then configure it and connect it to your router. Probably more geared to windows computers but still could be fun for mac/linux users too.
