A few years back I hacked together a file server with a couple of 256 GB hard drives using Fedora Core 3. Yeah, it was a while ago.
Since it was just a hacked together thing it never really worked very well. I could always access it by my housemate - running Windows XP would often have trouble connecting.
Recently, we took a power hit which screwed something up in the system, so I took it offline. Fortunately, we had backups of all the data so nothing was actually lost. Since I use Debian as my desktop I decided to wipe the system and set up a spanking new Debian server.
Right now, it seems like it's stuck on apt install, scanning the mirror. I may start over - the install is acting real cranky.
UPDATE: A reboot did the trick. I've got the system installed and the disks reformated. All I have to do is to set up SAMBA and the users profiles, all two of us. Maybe tomorrow.
