Hello everyone,
I am 14 years old and the only on who runs ubuntu in my household (loaded it myself and mom doesnt know). Also i think i am 2 out of 3500 kids at my school who runs ubuntu. Anyways on with my story as most of you know summer is approaching and i have about 1000 dollars to spend on a server and i think I know all the necessary hardware from newegg and bookmarked it. I want to use ubuntu server but how easy is it and are there guides for everything like for desktop or is it easier so you dont need it. I dont really care about using the command line but i want it to be a main central hub for all our music movies and other video. Also i think my brother would like to be able to reach it from college on his windows laptop. Please help me and if i decide to do it i will try to update regularly.
Thanks ahead of time.
