| 574443 | 2007-07-31 06:09:00 | Preview: Windows Home Server Beta 2 If you have several PCs in your household, there are currently two ways of tying them all together: either get a NAS device, or set up a dedicated Linux box. Neither are perfect options: the former generally amounts to shared storage, and the latter is a complex option. With Windows Home Server, Microsoft is gunning for the middle ground – the simplicity of NAS, but with server features and functions. www.pcauthority.com.au Meanwhile Apple has some plans with Leopard. ;) |

| 574444 | 2007-07-31 06:41:00 | What? It isn't that hard to setup a linux box (there are many guides out there) or something like FreeNAS. And it isn't very hard with OS X either - use Sharepoints if you want some better control, particularly with how it manages Samba (with OS X Server it is even easier). Probably even easier for the average punter just to buy a hardware NAS .. |
