[ale] Home Data Server Project

[Jim Kinney]

If the server box supports hardware raid, it's pretty easy to setup. It's
harder to mess with when the system needs a new drive so be liberal with the
sharpie marker to indicate which drive is on what sata port!

ext4 seems to be working fine for the 3 systems I have Fedora 12 that use it
(aspire one with flash drive gets ext2 to avoid wearing out journal area).

Most file sharing is done using filesystem agnostic tools. Samba for winders
users (and Mac users) and NFS for *NIX folks (and mac and winders people
with the right tools). Both protocols can server the same files.
