just wondering thinking of a nas...but came across a microserver.....only want to keep movies on it so people can access around the house...
 
ahhh so you can play with it a little....like a normal pc..well sort off....and they will let you share all your files around the house on a network so say laptops...ps3...xbox360 and media players ie asus oplay and wdtv air live will be able to access avi/mkv to play?
 
i dont mind messing about with things and learning....the via artigo...as yo usaid you can put the free programs on ....and can you log on through a web browser to change options or do you plug a monitor in to play with it?
Ahhh you can install windows on it aswell lovely lol.

I faced a similar situation but ended up buying N40L and chucked ubuntu on it. It's good.

Upside: I can do whatever I like with it.
Downside: It takes a bit more time to set up.

is this linux operating system and does it work fine for a media server aswell?

Yeah, ubuntu is a linux distribution - but if you have to ask that question, you might be better off with WHS or going the NAS option! :) :)

maybe but can always experiment....lol...money isnt a issue either not looking for the cheapest way just the best way...looks like a microserver can be fun...rather than a normal nas box lol
