NAS File Server
I have a network all running WinXP. It works fine, but now I want to put a file server on it. Currently we have 8 people using the network, and occasionally someone will plug into it and use it.
Since with Windows XP, you are limited to 10 users, I am thinking of using a NAS file server since it would not add another WinXP user to the network.
I don’t’ have any money for this, but I got lots of computer parts so I am thinking to build of a systems with RAID 1 – 5 Disk – 1 for the OS and 4 IDE 120 mb drives for the data wstorage (240mb total space).
Now, if I use Win Xp for the OS, it should not be a problem as I use a shared folder and netowork drives.
What if I use a NAS OS for the server?
Do they have any low cost or open source ones out there?
Anyone have any experience doing what I want to do?
