Me too. It dont matter its still Windows. If you have a box to put Home Server on you should at least giveAnd I've looked at Windows Home Server. Then I looked away...
Linux a try before you go buy from Bill Gates and are disappointed. I have a Fedora-2 box that i don't think
has been rebooted in at least 5 years just no need to, Linux is just that stable its like a good ole watch it just keeps on ticking. Sure, if you are not all that computer savy you may struggle a little at first I know I did, but when it all starts to
click hold on because you really start to understand that Linux can do as little as you want, or as much as you want. I have used my Fedroa box for a domain, mail, www, network, print, game and every other server you can think of. I had a UT game server running 24 hours a day for years on it and get this it ran better as a server on Linux than it did on Windows in which it was designed for. I even had it setup as a dial up server for my poor mother in law because she couldn't even afforded internet at one time. Now I have a HP laser hooked up to it so we use it for a print server for the other 5 computers we have. My kids, wife and me all have accounts on my Linux box when they log on to there windows computers they also are mapped to there home directory on the server to use for backups and storage. I have been out of the Linux loop for a while now but i would be willing to bet anything Windows Home Server can do a good Linux distro can do better. Unlike most of the time in life you dont have to spend a lot of money to get the good stuff, because this time it truly is free.
