Ok, I am thinking about trying my hand at building a basic . How ever my readings have brought more questions than answers. Here is what I want to do: 1) create a server that is accessable with (possibly) all the computers in my house 2) Primarily for File Storage and backup 3) I would love to have it Dual Boot (Ubuntu 64bit and XP pro x64) 4) Here is what is on the computers I am trying to network together: Mine: XP pro x64/Ubuntu x64 Laptop: XP home/Ubuntu Dad: Xp Home Spare: Free BSD or Open BSD ( not finished)
So the ultimate question is what do I need to do in order to possibly Run all these off of said server
You can create a peer to peer network with those machines. You can use one of the Ubuntu or BSD machines as an FTP & SSH server, which is what I do.
