A Server in Home

[shantylata597]

I have a old celron computer, just wasting my room space, I got an idea that, instead of wasting that hardware can i design a server through that system. It have 20 GB HDD and 256MB x2 512 RAM, running at a nice speed.

How can i proceed the work to use it as server, i had centos package already, then which are the software i require additionally, for which type of internet connection i want to consult ISP ?

I know it will not bring a professional service like xeon, but only need what it can provide ..

And what are you going to do with it?

The HDD is very small so its not likely to make a good file store.

Have a look at freenas http://www.freenas.org
As already said you will need a bigger HD or several of them.
