The audio files themselves are kosher, fortunately, but the drive hosting the OS now has more bad sectors than Detroit. Bad enough to turn a 40GB drive into a measly 8.5GB of storage. Definitely time to get a new HD. Until then, the music shop is closed…

Elz’s hard drive melting down last weekend finally got my ass in gear to put this together. Of course, not before she lost all of her email and address book. I was able to save the photos and music collection though. Hooray for partitions!

At any rate, if’n you’re looking for a quick and dirty network file server, you could do a lot worse than this. OTOH, if’n you’re looking for a micro-powered, highly tailored file server, you can probably do a lot better. All I know is that I now have all of our machines dumping nightly backups to a file server, and have the foundation for a home media center once I get myself together for that project.
