I have several computers in the house.
There were:- P4 2.0 - Main PC (mine)
- PII 300 PC (Shell)
- PPC/060 A4000T (mine)
- Celeron 333 - Smoothwall router
- P3 733 SME Server - Mail/web, etc
- Dual P3-750 Server - MP3/Video store
I have been having problems with my dually box. It randomly freezes, etc and wont install hotfixes! So I have replaced with a P200MMX with 64mb of RAM.
I downloaded and am now running NAS Lite +. I stuck some large hard disks into it. It boots up from CD and it works. Its also stable and works on very low spec gear. I might upgrade the memory on it to 128Mb from 64mb though - as that should improve caching.
And its fast! Damn fast!
I may put my little 486DX/4-100 into use and add disks into that as well...
There is a free version of the software called NAS Lite which runs completely off of a floppy.
Took me back to the days when I used to run FreeSCO as my router/firewall.
This means that I now have a Dual P3-750 machine with 512Mb sat around doing nothing. I don't want to run Windows on it - so I may just sell it as a going concern without the hard disks/DVDs in it. In a nice midi tower case with space for 6 HDDs...
