BUILD IT, YOUR ULTIMATE HOME SERVER
Running Linux on your home computer is something of a rite of passage, all the more so when it becomes your main operating system. Friends are
bemused as the incantations you type give rise to arcane console output, error messages, or pictures of cats. They ask if they can run Linux too, and you say something enigmatic like: “I can only show you the door, you must walk through it”. They usually stop being your friends at that point. But that’s okay, you don’t need friends, you have Linux and unlike your erstwhile friends Linux is also a great server OS. And a home server is a great substitute for friends.
