Hey guys,
I just searched and there doesn't appear to be 1 single thread on Amahi Home Server. If you don't know about it, it is wonderful! It's basically a hassle free way to set up an intranet that allows VPN, VNC with nearly no set up.
Not only that, you can easily set up backups of all your systems, CROSS-PLATFORM! Currently I have two windows vista laptops and my Touchpro backing up to my home server. It's much easier than a Windows home server.
It's based on a fedora 10/Linux setup. Because Linux is so lean, you can set up a home server with a pretty old computer, and it's snappy. I'm using my 4 year old pentium 4 system that I put a 1 TB drive in, and I have no problems whatsoever.
Here's more info:

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to VPN to my Amahi Home server from my Touch Pro. You can easily access your home VPN with windows, linux and mac, but I can't figure out the settings for PPC.
If anyone figures it out, please let me know! Hope you guys like the program
