What does home server do? Nearly every Linux distro can be turned into a server install, but I've heard that Microsoft servers have more GUI configuration tools, whereas Linux servers tend to need a certain amount of command line work to set up. A lot of distros have a server edition, which often doesn't include X, so everything must be done from the command line.
Well, Microsoft's Home Server is a more strealined install for home users. It has a web frontend for sharing files, music, pictures, etc.
I just wondered if there are something similar for Linux. I now that I can turn any distro in to a full fledged server install, but was curiouse about the GUI part of it.
