Hi all,
Anyone got any suggestions for a lightweight server distro
for an old motherboard? I've got one of the VIA mini-ITX boards,
SP13000, and want to whack something light onto it. It will be
working as a file/media server and will be headless, hence will be
fiddled via ssh. Obviously there are the usual suspects, debian,
centos, but does anyone have any recommendations viv a vis a stripped
down distro, sort of like Lubuntu is to Ubuntu?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew
Well, if you are only going to need it as an NAS, why not try FreeNAS?
OK, its kernel is BSD rather than Linux, but that shouldn't be a
problem.
Kerwin.
Thanks, I'll look into that.
