My aim to build a minimalistic fileserver to store pictures and music but also to share/stream music and video to other computers from my USB HDD.
First i was thinking i should use FreeNas or similar but now i realise maybe FreeNas are both to complicated, and support many features i never will use, so maybe i should go for something smaller and simpler?
Basicly i want the most minimalistic SAMBA share server possible, so maybe i should use Win95,Win98 or some minimalistic Linux Distro, maybe there even samba servers for DOS?
Once configurated within workgroup with a filename and password, i should never need to bother with it only turn it on and off.
Any suggestions?
