Long story short, my Dad just got a new computer. (His old was was actually really old, but he could have used Linux.)

Anyway, I told him not to throw out the old computer and that I would take it. He was baffled that I would want it or could even do anything with it.

I am going to set it up as a backup server in the house for my parents and myself as it will be a nice way to have an offsite backup for free.
