What would i need to set up a file server that would be used for my whole network (Windows and PC), i dont really want to use a mac for it because i am wasting a perfectly good system for that which i dont want to do, i have many pc's also. I would like to use xp pro, or linux. But the only problem with the linux part is that i do not know how to use linux, but if there was a guide on how to set up a cheap linux machine i would definetely consider it. I want to make it use less power as possible. Also i need to know how to correcly set it up on the machine. Do i need a RAID card?? What is a raid card??
I realy need to set one of these machines up ASAP... thanks in advance
