[ale] Home Data Server Project

[Jeff Hubbs]

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).

Attic heat = dead server.

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