Hi
"However, around 18 months ago, I built a file server for my LAN, using
a VIA Epia 800MHz motherboard and a couple of 200GB hard drives. With
Windows installed, it was so slow that I had 10 or 20 second delays when
trying to access the share across the network. The overhead of Windows
was just too great for it to work effectively – odd for such a minor
task. Finally I had the necessity and I decided to give Fedora Core 4 a
go. Fedora is the free version of Red Hat, and is actually used on many
web servers (including this one). It's use on web servers was a key
reason to choosing this, as I wanted an environment that was similar to
the Red Hat box I was used to, while also learning skills that could be
transposed directly over to web server administration. Interestingly, a
Fedora is the type of hat shown in the Red Hat logo (something a
girlfriend of mine had to point out to me), so it is in fact a little
play on words.
Installing Core 4 was painless and before I knew it, I had set up a
fully secure file server that was almost instant to access. It was
amazing how much difference in performance there was. When mapped as a
network drive, it felt like it was a drive in my computer."
