Thank you for your notes! My envision for this tutorial is a guy like me, a bit curious and very enthusiast about Linux, but not an expert at all ;-) This guy and his wife both have a desktop PC, a laptop, a few email accounts and lots of files and they want to have everything in one centralized place. I know, a NAS would be enought, bu did I mention I'm a curious and very enthusiast guy about Linux ;-) ? > On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 01:59:42PM +0000, Pinguim Ribeiro wrote: > > > > In a easy to follow way (you can copy and paste all you need) this > > site will > > guide you step by step through: > > There doesn´t seem to be more than the "before you begin" and > installation part 1 and part 2? Yes, for the moment, I just set up the site and wrote the installer guide. Soon I'll continue to publish other sections. The site will always be a work in progress: I'll add more and more features over time. My model is the previous 'Debian lenny server' site at http://servidorlenny.wikidot.com/servidor-debian-lenny. It's in Portuguese but you can check out the toc on the right side. > There´s no mentioning about setting up RAID and reasonably This guide is just for newbies ( like me ;-) ). The idea is to keep it very simple.

This would be a topic that could be discussed in the "before For the moment, I'll rely on the router/DSL/Cable modem for that.

My hope is that this guide will make (at least) a few people to try and became more curious about the Linux world and eager to learn more about it. > Any guide giving even the slightest suggestion that they could easily > and reasonably set up and administrate a server as complex as you > envision would mislead them.

Again I agree with you. This guide is a step by step guide but it must be clarified at the beginning. Do you have any suggestions on how to do that section?
