[beagleboard] OwnCloud File Server for home network

2014-02-10 Thread Gab riel 
Hello,

i have this idea in my head

I want to have a small File Server for my home network and was thinking 
that OwnCloud could do the job (Contacts, Calender, Files)

What should it do?

-Sync Contacts, Calender to Android and Mac
-Store Files (mostly video, music, and some documents and maybe a backup 
from my laptop)

I was thinking about  the Beagleboard Black in combination with an external 
hard drive and an ethernet connection to my network.

following questions have occured:

-Will it be powerful enough? (it doesn't need to be super fast)
-Which OS should i use? (which Linux? Ubuntu?)

Sorry for this easy question, maybe someone has some experience with 
Beagleboard and OwnCloud, or could provide me with alternativs, links etc.

Thank you for your answers and your help,
BR Gabriel
And a second sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

Your English is fine . . .

*-Will it be powerful enough? (it doesn't need to be super fast)* *Yes*

*-Which OS should i use? (which Linux? Ubuntu?) Debian*

So in this specific context, Ubuntu versus Debian may matter less, but
Ubuntu is not exactly a server distro. Like any other flavor of Linux, it
can be made to do anything other Linux's can do but . . . Debian should not
let you down.


Just so you know, the BBB is actually rather fast with network transfers
via the ethernet interface. That is considering it is 10/100 fast ethernet.
You can nearly max the interface speed wise.

I would pick up one of Robert Nelson's 3.13.x Debian images, and start
learning / testing.

I would use ArchLinux|ARM for that

There are a few options already in the AUR depending on which version
you want to go with such as -git -beta -stable
