homemade NAS
Is there anyway that I can turn an older (ATHLON 1.4, 512 MB, 80 GB
HD) into something like a Snap! server , network attached storage (NAS) ???? I have just outgrown the Snap! server, which worked perfectly. I just need it to share out files on the LAN and be able to set users and permissions from a web interface, similar to SNAP! Also be able to configure it over http interface and set all the settings from there. I am trying to get away from having to use Windows XP. I have been using XP to do this on our LAN, using remote desktop, and/or VNC to configure, but it is so clunky, as Windows tends to be. The other workstations are all XP pro machines BTW. Just wanted something as reliable as the SNAP! server was..... Does anyone know of some server software that would do this, the cheaper.. IE free the better. I like the idea of smoothwall firewall, except to server out files. THANKS!!! |
