Choosing the Right Shared Storage

,----[ Quote ]
| Older PCs are well suited for building a Linux-based home server. Most 
| current Linux distros ship with the Samba networking software installed, or 
| just a package download away. It's fairly straightforward to configure Samba 
| to work with Windows, Macs, and other Linux systems.

Windows Home Server bug corrupts files

,----[ Quote ]
| Given that the point of Windows Home Server is to allow you to store
| your media files, a bug in the storage process that could result in
| corrupted files is bound to get attention.
|
| Microsoft has issued a support document for the 13 or so (just
| kidding) people using Windows Home Server, the company's latest
| product for those attempting to build the digital home of the future.
| Apparently there's a flaw in the way Windows Home Server works with
| certain Microsoft applications, such as Windows Vista Photo Gallery,
| that could result in corrupted files if you use those applications to
| save files to the server. A list of the specific applications can be
| found in the support document.
