[Tfug] home media server

If you are running it on a network with Windows machines, look at Samba.  That works for me.

hello all --

so, i have rather fortuitously come into an old e-machine. the specs are not marvelous (700 mhz pIII, 256 ram), but i was thinking that it might do well as a file server. i would use it primarily for media, but backing up files would also be part of its job. i haven't done much research yet, but was wondering if there were any suggestions for open source software that could turn it into a media server. i would like to be able to have access to my media (and be able to play it -- audio and video) from remote locations.

any suggestions?

a very happy thanksgiving to all.
