I'm looking to put a small server in place to store all of my digital photos/music etc. so I can keep them in one place (Instead of scattered between the study (XP Home) and the laptop (XP Home/Ubuntu) depending on where I am when I take them off the camera!). My first thought would be to get a cheap PC with a big hard drive, Ubuntu & SAMBA - however thinking about it a little more it'd be nice if the laptop/desktop could have their own local copies of the data (Mainly for performance reasons) and automatically keep themselves in sync.
So really, this email is a request for suggestions :) My initial thoughts are either: - Cheap NAS & forget about syncing (But would prefer PC as I can do unattended downloading every time the next ubuntu release etc. comes out!) - Cheap PC (Anyone know of anywhere that sells OS-less cheap PCs in the UK?) with Ubuntu/SAMBA & forget about the syncing stuff - Cheap PC with Ubuntu/SAMBA & iFolder to keep everything in sync (Anyone used this?) Any suggestions from people who've implemented one of the above (Or something similar), I'm particularly interested in how low a spec PC I could get away with for the PC options. Any opinions gratefully received! Thanks Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
