Swimmer Posted July 9, 2006 CID Share Posted July 9, 2006 I would start simple.. get an old box if you have one.. and get a file server up and running.. if you are using windows then the file/printer sharing options is a good way to go.. otherwise SAMBA for linux.. From there you can install IIS/apache for basic web serving.. and a FTP server.. Games are a different world.. you are going to be looking at some pretty good processing power, depending on the game, and a decent upload to be able to host on the internet..

dlewis23 Posted July 9, 2006 CID Share Posted July 9, 2006 well you can do web, ftp, mail. the most fun would be a game server, most games come with dedicated server software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
