Hardware: Dell GX270
HDD: 40GB for OS and Software
1TB for Media and Backups [USB Hard Drive with auto spin down after 10 minutes idle time]
RAM: 512MB
OS: Ubuntu Server 9.04
My Home Server runs Ubuntu Linux Server edition version 9.04. Its a headless server and I did the installation over ssh as there is no monitor attached to it. I made a custom installation CD that would start the installer, initialize network and start ssh server. You can then ssh in and see the installer and continue installation from there. You can find more information on creating this installation CD here.
Its primary purpose is media server and backup server for my laptop. For file sharing with all other windows computer on the network it runs Samba server and for backup I use rsync which is already build in Linux and on the client side I use Delta Copy which include rsync client for windows with easy to setup user interface.
It also runs Apache 2 and Tomcat 6 web servers for my email notifier and house light control
.... still more to come
