Hey everyone. For quite some time now I have been wanting to setup a Home File server. Im new to this so bare with me. I finally have an extra computer laying around that Ill shove in the basement and let it run.
Heres what I want to do:
1) Access It from everywhere so I can obtain my files from home, work, and when im traveling.
2) Possibly use it for a game server also. COD4 and TF2
3) Run uTorrent
4) Run Ventrilo
So with all that in mind what should I use(OS) and hopefully u guys can help me set it up.
I have to say im pretty tech savvy but when it comes to networking it almost all new 2 me. All I really know how 2 do with networking its setting up a router and configing pcs with ip address and domains.
Thxs for you input
