You can always leave it there if you want to, but I found the software it installed was unnecessary.

If only I had more time! As for the ultimate part, I was referring more towards the "Ultimate Linux" part rather than "Ultimate Home Server", since I don't have any spare RAID cards or 1TB drives laying around. If anyone wants to send me some, I wouldn't mind :-P I’ll be putting a guide together hopefully later this month detailing how to virtualize the firewall aspect of your network, although you’ll need two NICs on your server.

For me it would be even more useful if the home server also did the broadband connection for the house, and included a firewall. This is a very useful guide.

And i also expected the use of virtualisation as this is becoming quite common nowadays.

We were so impressed with how much stock data it could hold and how much faster it was than the 5 1/4" floppies. Today, I'm surprised how much and how quickly the price has dropped on 1TB drives from three months ago. Hey, I remember those- at my first job out of grad school, we had one connected to an IBM PC.

At first it was music, then video, and now I would say HD video is going to push our free space toward 0%. @ GreyGeek

I thought I had it good with two floppy drives. One system and one data and 64KB of RAM!!!! Elephant disks never loose they're memory or something like that. I was thinking that the two 250GB HD's would have been configured for raid 1. After all it is a server. That would be enough for my data at this time. Yes, I would love to have two 1TB drives. They're not that expensive. My first PC was an Apple II+. I thought I had it good with two floppy drives. One system and one data and 64KB of RAM!!!!
