File Server Distribution

RottenMutt · 02-10-2006, 04:53 PM

Are there any file server distributions? I would like to build a file server, similar to TeraStation. I would like to be able to administer thru a remote connection, have four disk in software raid 5, have the distribution partition and format the system. Does this exist??

Debian is a good one. Not sure how to setup raid. Here's a couple of links:

i don't want a gui or a graphics card installed, unless the bios won't let the system boot without it. i would like the installed OS to be a small as possible. i would like a distribution that will load automatically and then let me remote login to finish the setup; create accounts, etc. something simillar to smooth firewall.

thanks for the links.

i did find this
http://www.serverelements.com/

but i would probably be better off with debian. i will want gcc installed to compile aps like apcups.

i have started my project, which will be a file server/firewall/router. this is what i have ordered:

Aopen i945Pa-PLF

Intel Celeron D 351 Prescott 533MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache LGA 775 EM64T Processor

4x Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3400633AS 400GB SATA2 7200RPM Hard Drive w/16MB Buffer

CORSAIR VALUE SELECT 1GB DDR2 667MHz

i have started to load FC4, now to find the right software. i set the red nix to dhcp and have assigned the green nix to a fixed ip.

i found this http://www.fedoranews.org/ghenry/gateway/
but it is for a modem and a nix, i got two nix.

my ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
HWADDR=00:01:80:62:7A:5A
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

setup firewall/customize has a trusted device which is eth0, and masquerade deveces which is set to ?
