I've started my build. So far so good. Funny part was I was referred to WHS 2011 and also to the WeGotServed forum by someone at the local Linux nonprofit FreeGeek.org . I just assumed a Linux or BSD based OS would make the best fileserver. Looks like I was wrong about that. So I"m glad to be here on WGS! I'm sure I'll have questions as I get around to configuring my system. Advice is always appreciated!
I've installed all the hardware in an old old Studabaker - Clarke Battery Charger I bought from the metal scrapper who lives next door.
