A lot of people rave about the hp mico servers n54l. Wait for the £100 cash back offer though.

Hi,

anybody having a NAS with a Linux on it? I'm thinking to replace my
old setup: an old laptop with Ubuntu and an USB harddrive of 1TB.

There are plenty of NAS around, but I wouldn't like one which does
just a Samba share or any fixed features and that's it. I mainly look
for a multi-purpose home server which can be always-on. The USB drive
didn't spin down, and the Laptop takes also energy compared to an ARM
processor. What I would like to have:

- Energy efficient
- Ext4 or similar, need hard links.
- SSH
- Samba shares
- rsync backups
- EncFS encryption
- DLNA server to watch movies on TV
- Full bitcoin client
- WiFi is a plus, don't have to place it next to the router then.

So to speak a little PC. Best would be if you could just take any
Ubuntu and put it on the NAS. A Raspberry PI would do it, but is
'naked' and still requires an external HD.

If you have a NAS and are happy with it, let me know!

Thanks,
Peter
