Old PC for simple file/print server

trust_1, on Friday 9 May 2008 à 12:24:10

Hello,

I have this old Athlon 1000Mhz/133MB/40GB which I would like to set for file/printer sharing and maybee for FTP sharing.

The demands are:
1. It should be foolproof and as simple and stable as it gets.

2. It should be able to share files to PC's with XP and Vista installed.

3. It should support newest printers

4. It should optionally work as FTP server

Please point me in right direction!

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hai

If you had alittle more power in that PC (1.5Mhz) I would recommend getting the OEM Version of MS Home Server. It is basically Windows 2003 with some added functionality with all the really techie stuff stripped out (e.g. domains).

I do not run Vista at home, so I can't comment on that. I ran a File Server for a couple of years using XP on an old 550Mhz system and had no problems. I later upgraded it to Win2003 and have been running it fine ever since (Well, except for the motherboard dying a few weeks back, but a $20 replacement was had on Ebay).

However, Win2003 is not cheap, so I would suggest using XP - but apparently there are some problems with XP playing nice with Vista according to jefro's response. But, that would probably still be my choice.

There's always Linux, but there goes the "easy" part of the equation.
