I want to set up a fileserver for my home/when i return to school, and am looking for a guide. Any suggestions?

I've installed Fedora Core 2 and have been messing around with it for the past few days. I have a decent amount of experience with linux, but I'm no expert.

Thx

    try clarkconnect. it comes preconfigured with all kinds of stuff and you don't have to really know anything about linux.

    I assume you just want to share files for your windows box's. All you really need is to setup Samba. Both the server and client side is included in Fedora Core and their is whole website devoted to setting up and troubleshooting samba from its creators.

    University of Oregon has a lot of good Linux info and folks.... Very good link.

    ADDED NOTE, some of the profs there used to teach Windows admin, and Oregon also has school districts running on Linux servers and some workstations with the servers servign desktops and apps and providing data storage. Linux is very big in Oregon, and University of Oregon also has a decent FTP public download cluster running. The Oregon thing started with two budget strapped school districts and a pair of MCSE certed admins who moved school computer labs to Linux+k12-- starting about 6+ years ago, and those two also helped dev and refine k12. The labs are running on about 2\3 donated castoff computers used as end nodes (they NICROM boot), servers are purchased and built servers.

    One thing, with a Samba pure share, a Linux admin would want secure-pipe login and PW authentication ALSO if anything non-public is on the share.
