So I'm looking to use a free'd up old computer I want to act as a server streaming media to my PS3 and other future media add-ons (thinking XBMC/Boxee type devices). Also ideally it would backup two to three computers. The computer is running the following:
Athlon 64 X2 (W) 5000+ 2.6 GHz
Asus A8M2N-LA
GeForce 6150 LE
2GB of RAM
320GB hdd
and I will add on a 2tb Samsung F4 to begin with.
I was wondering what would be my best OS to use with this? I was thinking Freenas. I have no background with it but since this isn't mission critical I'd be able to play around with different configurations. Also, if possible I would prefer not to buy anything else besides further storage as needed. Looking forward to all of your ideas as just searching for ideas on google is making my head spin. Thanks!
