Microsoft may have some competition in the Home Server market from it's rival Linux.
Ever since I heard about Microsoft Windows Home Server, I thought this was exactly what the techie community needed in their homes.
Well, for those who use Microsoft products anyway. It seems Microsoft may have more competition when it comes to Linux.
A group on the Ubuntu forums are talking about a Ubuntu Home Server version that could possibly replace a $500 version of Microsoft's Window Home Server. The best part is that the Home Server version would be free.
The project page has just enough to light a fire under Linux gurus to par take in the challenge.
This particular project could provide small businesses and home offices with just the right amount of a technological balance between a full-scale server, storage hub, and primary location of client data. Oh, and put Microsoft in a pinch as well.
We'll see how this progresses in the next months. Will we (or better yet, I) have a new Ubuntu Home Server in the future? I believe we/I may.
