My home server
Rather than throw out an old computer I’ve decided to put it to some good use. I’ve turned it into a server. I’m primarily using it to play around with ownCloud (http://owncloud.org). The specs of the computer are as follows: Compaq Presario SR1915AN AMD Sempron Processor 3400+ 1.8GHZ 80GB 7200 RPM Hard Disk 1GB RAM […]
