Hmmm, maybe the term fileserver was wrongly chosen. I need a computer attached to a harddisk for extra storage and a place to direct my backups to... OS X would probably do fine. But then the rest...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

If when you say you need it as a file server for MS machines you mean that you need a domain controller then you need OS X server. Otherwise OS X is enough.<br>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I have an old 500mhz TiBook of which the screen has broken (see much earlier posts) and the battery is gone. However, it still uses less power than my desktop. For this reason I was thinking of using it as the fileserver for my wireless network. I have a problem though as the network also has MS powered computers on it. (It shouldn't, I know, but still ;-)) Anyway, I want to attach an external USB disk to use as a storage facility to keep it all low budget. Any thoughts on how to make this work? I cannot use an NTFS formatted disk as OS X won't write to it. I could make the whole thing run linux, but I like OS X too much. What to do?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Arne<br></div></div>
