hi, is it possible to run a server on the time capsule?

like load up a bunch of music,movies,pictures and somehow be able to access the data away from home?


thanks,


also what is the mac os x server?

thanks again
 
Not an expert, but with .Mac you can access your home Macs and probably can get through to the time capsule if there is a Mac as well at home. There is also quite a lot you can do with sharing preferences menu. Don't think you'd need OS X server to do this, which is really for business where multiple machines access files centrally and need other whizz bang stuff that I don't know about yet.
