I have background in the Avaya/Lucent PBX world and I know how reliable Unix is. I would like to install a "version of unix" on a computer and just use it for the following purposes. 1. I want to add a couple terabyte drives to it and share them on my network. I want my kids and wife to be able to backup their files from a Windows XP, Windows7 or Vista machine to these terabyte drives. 2. I want to be able to load Asterisk on this machine and utilize a couple digitrex boards. 3. I may attach a printer to this box and share it across my network. Let me know your thoughts.
