Why use NTFS at all? Through Samba or NFS, the underlying file system
on the server is abstractualized away from the client OS completely
(aside from certain arcane extensions).<br>

Attic heat = dead server.<br>

Nothing but wi-fi to your server will lead to much gnashing of teeth if
your wife is a 2D/3D artist.<br>

<div>We're finally making some moves into getting a data server setup
at home. I think I'm a little intimidated by it. I've built computers
before and setup peer-to-peer networks (with Windows machines). I'm
going to do it with CentOS, because I'm a Red Hat fanboy. Any tips for
me?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's what we plan to do with the data server:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Terabytes of information</li>
<ul>
<li>Wife's a 2d/3d artist</li>
<li>Security camera footage</li>
<li>HTPC content</li>
</ul>
<li>2 storage partitions</li>
<ul>
<li>NTFS for the wife</li>
<li>EXT3 for me and EVERYTHING ELSE</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We plan to store the server in the attic so it'll be connected
wirelessly. I plan to get an 802.11n setup. Thanks.</div>
