What suggestions do you have for creating a Linux-based home server? I'm looking to build a Linux-based server for use at home. I'm not new with Linux, but I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I'm looking, in particular, for distribution, software, security, and configuration suggestions. I'd like the server to be able to do a number of things: *Private SMB/CIFS server for local network *Media server, for iTunes and Xbox 360 *FTP/Webserver, password-protected, accessible from internet. *Media center features (Maybe?) *Possibility for future expansion. Part of me wants to use Ubuntu or Fedora, for familiarity's sake, but perhaps there is a better option. Thanks!
Going to buy a home server. Linux vs Windows? I don't know much about servers but im buying one so i can access all of my files while im gone on Business. From what i have read you have to have it hooked up to a computer, is this correct? On my main computer i have Win7 with Norton and on my second i have Ubuntu and Debian. Im guessing Linux would be more secure but ive read its a pain getting set up. Would it be better to use it with Windows or Linux? Also do ISP block home servers? I think its port 80 or something.

What is a good Linux distro for a very small home server? I've got my Bachelors in Computer Science but I don't care for Linux and thus have a very hard time with it when I am using it. That said, I am getting a very small and low-end computer (I Ghz, I GB ram) that I plan to use as a basic FTP / DNS / HTTP / Minecraft server. Linux is clearly the best choice for such a computer. But my question is which distribution in the best? It needs to: Be simple enough to use. Have a GUI of some sort and be 100% functional with said GUI. Have a package manager for downloading from repositories Be very lightweight. I don't want the server taking too much power. I came across a few such as Vector Linux which is nice but I couldn't find a useful package manager built in so downloading programs was a nightmare. Xubuntu seemed OK but people are saying it isn't nearly as lightweight as it is advertised to be.

Linux mail setup, spam and online / offline server question? Best mail setup question ... Scenario: - Have own domain name, lets call it abc.com for example. - Host 1: Have linux server at home on a xDSL connection running sendmail, which is not always connected to the net. Running fetchmail off this box to Host 2 to get mail for abc.com out of user1 pop account. /etc/aliases file used to hold many aliases for abc.com - Host 2: Linux server (linode) permantly connected to the net running qmail + spamassassin, and with a rule of *@abc.com to be dumped into a pop mail account user1. Primary MX for abc.com points to Host 2. Secondary & Tertiary MX's for abc.com point to a backup spool where domain is hosted. Problem: - As Host 2 has a all to one mail mapping for abc.com, all mail for any email address is accepted. - Spamassassin helps filter spam on Host 2, - Aliases file is on host 1 (so aliases can be added/deleted easily) Is there an easier way to setup mail ... can a backup mail spool with no timeout on host 2 be setup just for abc.com
How do I find out if I have a Linux Web Server or not? Checking the Properties of My Computer shows: System: Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. I found out that I can have a Windows XP Operating System as well as a Linux Operating System but I don't know if this also determines my web server or not and how to determine whether I have a Linux Web Server or not. First: The reason why I need to find out this answer is that I was told in answer to another Yahoo question about how to install a redirect: "If you have a Linux Web server, then do this..." Secondly: Microsoft Help says "NOTE: Windows XP and Linux can coexist on the same computer. For additional information, refer to your Linux documentation." Well, I know I have windows. I don't know if I don't have Linux. One problem is that I don't know where to find my Linux documentation--isn't there some place on my computer where I should be able to look this data up?

I am planning to buy a cheap computer. a really cheap one to set it up as a data / media server. to be able to access it from my two laptops that i have at the moment. I have VIsta on one Laptop and Pclinnuxos on teh other laptop. I have 2 External drives filled with data and media. Now i am planning to buy this cheap computer and install linux OS (server edition) on it. so i can connect my two external drives on it and will be able to access them within my appartment and if i need you over the internet.

How do I set up a VPN Tunnel between a Linux Server and my Cisco Router? I've got an ADSL line at my home that terminates to a Cisco 1721, and a collocated server at my place of business, which is running Ubuntu Linux Server 8.04. I would like to set up a private network (10.x.x.x) between the two locations for ease of sharing of files and media amongst my home LAN and the server. My guess would be to set up some sort of VPN between the server and the cisco, but I can't seem to figure out how. I realize that I can simply open a VPN connection from each client PC, but I think it's much better (and reduces overhead, 10 tunnels as opposed to 1) to actually set the VPN up at the router level, and just "ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 Tun0" or something. Can someone point em int he right direction as to how to set up a cisco-->server vpn? Encryption is not that important, a vanilla L2TP tunnel would suffice!
What linux distro makes a good game / file server? I'm going to be building a home server soon that will serve as both a filesharing server and a game server for LANs, and I'm having trouble deciding on an OS. FreeNAS looked good, but I don't think it'll run the majority of deticated game servers, and I don't want to shell out $100 for Windows Home Server (plus I could use the linux experience). It needs to: -Run, at the very least, the Source Dedicated Server tool in Steam, and hopefully the DS tools for other games. -Be able to share video files over a network using something similar to Windows Media Sharing, so that we can stream content onto our TV. -A web-based GUI for setup over another computer (like FreeNAS) would be nice, although I suppose we could just use a remote desktop tool. -Be able to use a built-in torrent program. If there are plug-in available for Windows Home Server that could allow use of all these things, I would be willing to bite the bullet and pay for WHS, but as I said, something in Linux would be great because I need the experience. Thanks for any help!

How to make money from home server? Hi, I am currently on 3 mbps down and 1 mbps up DSL Biz class line and I have 4 static IP's with a router running pfsense with 1:1 NAT routing and I am going to setup a home windows server soon running a web server and other server software that doesn't use much bandwidth. I currently have a private linux server, but I wouldn't open that up to the public since I don't have much experience in linux, so I was wondering what is something that I could run on my home connection that maybe I could make $$ from a month? At least enough to pay for my internet bill. I can't host game servers and other server software like that because it uses to much bandwidth. Is there anything else out there that maybe I could get profit doing? I also own 1 domain.

What is the point of a home server? I've read this (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081210002829AAjyv3U) question but what if I'm not planning to create a domain or proxy? Can't you use a regular OS for file storage? That is what I am doing at the moment and it seems to work just fine so I was wondering what would be the advantage of a home server vs a regular OS and would linux or windows based be better? It will be for a very simple home server and it will be running on a netbook. There will be one desktop and one laptop connecting to it and occasionally a second desktop. The desktop that will be connecting to it very frequently runs vista and ubuntu dual-booted so what type of communication problems would there be between linux and windows?

How can I sync the Linux system password and the Samba password? I have a Linux server to act as a file server for Windows clients. It is running Debian 3.1rc4 and Samba. I've created the users system accounts, their home folder, etc, all fine, and also the samba sharing system. I can connect to it and its running ok, but I would like to keep sync`ed the linux system user pass and the samba pass, so that when I change the SYS pwd, the Samba be updated automatically. I've read about it, mostly of people trying the oposite: when the Samba pwd gets changed, the sys its updated, but it seems to be a little more complicated, so the first case would be just fine. I also don't wanna turn the linux box into a PDC, or make a domain, using a central DB system for user management and do the job. Just want to keep the files sync without one of these DB solutions, keeping it as simple as possible. I think that's possible, but dont know if it is so simple, without creating a DB or using external tools. Thanks in advance.

Is "TomTom Home server" a spyware? My GPS "TomTom XL LIVE IQ Routes Edition" device has a buggy Linux touchscreen keyboard. The uppercase rules are completely nuts. The tools used or the programmer who wrote the software don't use an unique I/O keyboard module.. Each part of the program invents it's own "keyboard"..(References : LinuxVersion(311596) ApplicationVersionVersionNumber(8417) ApplicationVersion(1255)) So I use the laptop as a typewriter via that "Home" program which connects the device and the computer. Today the Internet connection was broken and this "wiring" program refused to start ! WHY ? IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN INTERNET CONNEXION, IT REFUSES TO WORK SAYING It can't connect to the "TomTom Home (spyware) server" SO, IF YOU ARE NOT TO INTERNET YOU DON'T HAVE THE KEYBOARD YOU NEED !! *********************************************************** I'm I Spyed from Internet by TomTom ? And Why ? *********************************************************** It's an ABUSE and MUST STOP! I BOUGHT AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE FROM THEM AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW WHERE I AM AND WHAT I'M TYPING OR DOING EACH MOMENT ! The European Comission, gave them the CE agreement. Should they withdraw that approval ? Am I spyed or not ?

Can someone explain licensing in server 2003? I'm no stranger to ms and linux servers but I've never installed on before, simply taken over what someone else has created if you get me. I plan to install server 2003 on my home network and would like someone to explain how the licensing for it works a little better. If the server has say 5 licenses does this mean 5 clients which are part of the domain can access the server but no more than that? Or does it mean something completely different? How do large companies with a seeminglessly unlimited number of clients deal with this? I remember in server 2000 there were two licensing options one was per client and I forget the other. I just need some better explanation really, it's not very clearly documented on the MS site so please don't paste whats already on there, ideally I want answers from someone whos used a ms server.
I have Pentium 4 computer with Windows XP Home on it. I want to turn this into fileserver and media server? I want to be able to do several things. Have this computer act as a server for files, be able to play hulu.com (more of a PC than server I guess), backup my two networked PCs, and stream to my PS3. What OS would be best suited for this? Can XP Home do this? Or should I go with Ubuntu or some other Linux? Main thing is file serving and backups. Thanks.

How can I find out what operating system is running on a remote web server? I'm running desktop Linux on my home computer, and I would like to know of a program I could use to find out the operating system of a remote web server. Is this possible? I know that web servers have access to information about the operating systems of client machines that view their website, but does something similar happen in reverse? The protocol is HTTP.

Could I use "Windows Vista Home Premium Edition" as an operating system on a web-server? I already have a legitimate copy on disc. Leave aside that it's not an ideal server OS. Leave aside biases in favour of Linux or other systems. (And I would plan to install extra security-software and a hardware firewall.) Is there a technical or licensing reason why I could or should not run "Vista Home Premium" as the OS on my web-server?

Building a Home Server( The software side)? So, I was just about to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my old computer just for kicks as I was wanting to learn about the Linux operating system, when I decided it would be best to just use this computer for a server, as it has alot of untapped power. I added a large terabyte hard drive and it has a beefy 8800 gt card. Anyway, I wanted to know what you all would( or already) use a home server for, and if you would use a flavor of linux, or a certain build of windows.

How to isolate an insecure computer (web server) from the rest of my home network? I would like to run a webserver (Apache/linux) on my home network but I know next to nothing about administering a webserver. I do not care much if the webserver gets hackers (this is more of a learning experience) but I do care if the rest of my network is compromised because of it. How can I best isolate the rest of my network from the insecure webserver? All I know to do is install a network switch before the router so I'm hoping you guys can give me some more advice. Thanks! XS suggests using only a NAT rule on the router. Will this protect from arp takeovers and mitm? It is that other 1% of access that I am concerned about...

Can Microsoft see my whole network,and could they shutdown a linux box? I have heard that WGA can allow microsft to kill your computer remotely.(they have nearly shutdown my roomates XP system until he did a automatic update.we did not allow this update for two week until the computer was extremly slow) Does microsoft have the technologies to disable someones linux box? I fear a EULA disallowing someone from runing linux on the same home network that WinXP is hooked up to. They already put a 5 computer limit on your network(winxp pro has a 10 computer limit).How can they get away with telling you how many computers you can run?I talked with a microsoft rep and she told me that each computer does not have to be running a windows product and that there is a 5 computer limit per license on a single network. So if I put up a new web server my room mate would have to buy a second licence even thought Im not using a windows os.
