I am probably not needing one either. But I was interested to learn a bit about it all. I had not thought about the heating problem. And I don't have the 'hybrid' problem that you mentioned. I have not used Windows for at least 12 years now, and I have no plans to do so. Much simpler all round.Hi Neil, One the cons about home servers is that they have to be powered 24/7. In the winter months, a bit of extra background heat might well be useful, but in the summer (remember those???) you might have to leave windows (i.e. glazed hole in wall) open so that the kit can get rid of its heat. Only you can decide if that is an imposition or not. I have decided that my hybrid windows/linux network is adequate for my most of my needs, and that I can manage without a server. Regards etc, Ray Knowles.
