Can I install any software i want in a home server?
I need to have PS3MEDIASERVER, SQUEEZEBOXCENTER AND UTORRENT on a pc 24/7.Also sharing files. I want a nas or a server for this, so I can turn off my pc. My question is, if i build a server with ubuntu server or windows sever,
can i run any software i want ( and keep it on) just as i can do in xp and vista?
I have ZERO experience with dedicated servers except configuring my pcs to share printers and files.
No, the server software police will come in and remove all software after 60 days…
Just kidding. You can install anything you like and it will hang around until you either delete it or the hard drive crashes.
Yes, so long as the software runs on the OS of choice. A server is nothing more than a PC designed to serve up data.
uTorrent will not run on Linux, unless you go through WINE. But you can use other torrent software.
