The server is built with Ubuntu Server 7.10 & Samba. Do not use Ubuntu Server 5.04 LTS because this version does not support the latest SATA Controllers (in an Pentium II or III you likely want to use a PCI SATA RAID controller to attach SATA hard disks).

  • The existing tutorials do not describe how to add additional disks or have a
    complex authorization or access procedure. Freenas (www.freenas.org) does have too many
    features for home users and more important it does not support the NTFS
    format.
