Don't know if it should be here or in the BSD secion. Move as you see fit.
I am in the process of turning my Atom 330 ITX home file server upside down and inside out.
Anywhoo, I am looking into FreeBSD, after Saxon suggested it to me.
My envision is to drop my WD 20GB IDE HDD (currently running Ubuntu) and just run off a USB Flash drive. I also am getting a new slimmer case, and size is limited.
But the reason for the switch, I don't need Open Office, media players, games, even FF.
I have successfully installed FreeBSD on my VirtualBox. But now, I am unsure how to go about this further. Install stuff, look up different things.
I am planning to run this server headless, after install, of course.
I have 2 storage drives, both WD 640GB SATA HDDs. I have different files on each. One for movies, other for everything else. I need to share this over the network. HTTP is what I want to share by. Go to Window's Network list.
If I think of something else, I'll post it.
