Home server OS

by jetro • 20 Apr 2011, 14:02 • Journals
Going to pick up a new PSU in a couple of days so I can build a modest home server with some spare computer parts. It's going to be used for backups, fileserver, webserver,... you name it. All I need now is a nice OS to run.

Some options I've been thinking about:
  • Windows Server 2008
  • Windows Home Server
  • Linux distro: ubuntu, fedora..?
  • FreeNAS


So which of these would suit me best :G?

ubuntu server imo since its free, has lots of support and should support everything you want to do

also freenas might be too limiting no??

Yes, this is a gaming community. How silly of me to ask something computer related.

You're obviously Barack Obama, David Beckham, Nelson Mandela and Albert Einstein at the same time but merged into one person. Not to mention your impeccable taste of music

dumbass

Don't really need anything like that, since I'm planning to only run one OS.
