What now ?

The new project is a home server. I want to have a play with phpBB so need to set up something that will run it. I'm also looking to use it as a NAS to backup all the PCs in the house to a centralised disk.
I'm thinking that the Raspberry Pi will not take much power running 24/7 (it uses about 3w, about the same as a mobile phone charger - which I might well use to power it). It'll replace the Freecom FSG-3 which is a Linux-based NAS with a 160GB drive in it (I really need a bit more than that to back up several PCs).


 FSG-3 - coming to an Ebay near you soon in all likelihood.
