I know I've had some less than kind words to say about non mobile Linux OSes. I suppose I'm eating some of my words.
So I decided to try CentOS server as a NAS on some spare parts for now. It took awhile as I'm not fluent with Linux, but I finally got things set up the way I want them and I'll admit that it's pretty nice. I was getting Tired of FreeNAS (now NAS4Free). It seems to be going downhill in terms of stability and reliability etc.
I tried Windows Home Server 2012 which I think is horrible. Way way way too bloated. And I don't like the fact that it sets up all of these folders and I can't rename or remove them. And then I have to install all this crap on client PCs? give me a break. It's almost like they intentionally decided to fail at combing simplicity and functionality. I'd much rather run XP can click "enable file sharing" than run Windows Home Server.
