What would you guys recommend for a simple home file server? I was attracted to Solaris because of ZFS and it's advantages over RAID 5.
As I mentioned, I'm looking to setup a speedy file server only to serve files to my Windows machines. Should I just run that Nevada 77 release, look to FreeBSD v7.0, or...? I've used Linux before but just know the very basics... Thanks! On Dec 12, 2007 11:48 PM, Alan M Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > James C.
