Hya,
I searched the forum for similar topic, however I could find it so I made a new one. sorry..
So...
I want to build home server for online storage of music, movies, game files and etc etc.. Some streaming of 720p videos (no super max 3d hd enormous files) and I want it to be easy accessible, easy manage, also easy file copy/pasting. All my computers uses windows, and tablets phones androids. Server will be used purely for files storage/sharing. And preferable torrent downloading/uploading.
I have some old hardware:
cpu: intel E5400 (i dont remember correctly) about 2.1ghz
ram 2gb ddr2 667
no vga (for less power consumption) there is integrated.
I currently have psu of 250w (i have no idia about required voltages for HDD)
Also I have hdd 200+250gb, and I am planing to get 3+3TB more. (4-5 in total)
My MAIN question is: What operational system is best in my case?
I am thinking of linux server, but will it be easy manageable?
What about windows 2010 home server? or free4nas?
Server will be running headless.
