Home server

[Jason Cox]

Or if you knowwhat your doing..

RaspberryPI (256M version) running debian
Runs 1 TB and 2x 550G USB2 HDD
Print server
File server
UPNP render & DLNA server
SANE network SCANNER server
X10 Automation controller
Occasional buildbot slave
Check_mk client

All this with not problems in over 4 months (since I received it)

The big question is not so much what you do but how often :)
