No, not for the website but for personal use. Sometimes it would be nice to be out somewhere like at work or out to eat and pull up a picture or a file that is on my computer at the house. To this date, I have not been able to do that. I really don't trust Cloud servers yet nor do I want to pay for them. So that only leaves one thing, my own personal server.
Now the first thing to set straight is, I am not going to be buying a server rack and putting a dual quad setup in it with 32GB of ram and 100TB of HDD's. This is going to be a single computer (home) running the HDD's that I have (about 3TB's worth) and 8gb of ram. The computer I have that may be able to do it is an old Dell Dimension 8400. However, I do have other computers that I could use. With the Dell, I"m stuck with the P4 HT 3.0Ghz CPU, but with the other two, I can run a Core 2 Duo or the Q6600 Quad Core, same memory and HDD space.
The thing is, I know JACK about Linux. If I do this, I'm more than likely going to use Ubuntu Server to run it all. The reason I'm posting this is to see if any of you have used this software and how did it work for you? Where do I need to go to learn about Linux? I would like to get this setup pretty quickly since I needed it yesterday lol.
It would be nice for me to be able to design something, upload it to my server and have it ready when I get home to print or cut out. It's also nice to have a place to store everything that is not on my computer clogging it up.
Let me know what you have done to run this and learn about it.
