My home server that I purchased 4 years ago, died. Died in flame, literally. It was basically simple smb/ssh/sftp server that I used to backup files onto, and was on all the time. One day it stop working, and I left it off for few days. Then when I had time, I plugged it in to see if it works, and the power caught fire. It was actually pretty scary. And it stunk up my room pretty bad like a chemical… I was hoping to at least rescue the hard drive, but it is completely dead. All the date are lost… Well, I have some files backed up on CD/DVD but that hard drive was where I kept my files… Oh well. Of course I lost all my mp3s from Napstar days… 60GB+ full of music. On a bright side, my friend helped me (actually, he basically did the whole thing for me… I thank you Tai-san…) get hardware and wired it in and even installed Ubuntu on it, (well, flavor of it, Mythbuntu). I am excited to learn about Ubuntu now. For my memo, here’s the spec of the “new” machine. I kept the same ANTEC tower.
