How to set up a file server on the cheap.

Posted by Adam  Published in General

Sorry for the long delay in posts, but I’m hoping this post makes up for.

http://www.intac.net/build-your-own-server/

The above link is a very in nice visual flow-chart on how to set up a headless (no keyboard/monitor/mouse) file server based on Debian linux. They use a variation of Ubuntu in the instructions, but remember, Ubuntu is a variant of Debian.

The great thing about this type of file server is that it is accessible from various operating systems on your home network, without really having to worry about host operating system or drive format issues.

Hopefully the link above can assist you in your hosting needs.
