Good day everyone, I have recently been promoted from contractor to Federal Government and help desk to Linux/Unix Sys Admin! Due to this recent change, I find myself in a position that I wanted to be (just not that early and without the education with Linux). My goal for a while now and has become even more benefitial is to make a Linux File server at home and use it for my other two system builds at home. So without further babbling, here I am asking for advice on a low budget, low power system build for Linux.
1. Linux File Server w/Samba is the goal and I want to use shares and roaming profiles as well.
2. My budget is around 400 dollars.
3. I will be buying my parts in the USA.
4. I am not a fanboy, though I am more familiar with Intel.
5. I have no existing parts.
6. I did not find any related threads in the search feature.
7. System Default speeds will be used.
8. This is not a gaming PC obviously.
9. I plan to work on this during winter after college ends for the semester.
Thanks in advance.
