Windows Home Server (Updated)

Well, I recieved my invitation to the beta prgram yesterday. I only got round the downloading the iso’s now. Somwhere between one and two hours to go ( depending on speed – I had 300kbps a second ago).  I was planning on installing it on my old PC that simply has nothing else todo. But, as luck would have it, it has no DVD drive. Grrr….

I’ll ahve to scavenge one from else where. Or buy a new server, which is just what I’ve been looking at. Dell is hard to beat for value.

I’m rather excited about this. WHS is just what I’ve been praying for. I think that I have a long wwekend of long nights setting things up.

I’d better get to work. 🙂

Update:

Since WHS does NOT use wireless from some strange reason ( Cue a “damn if I know” shrug). I just ordered an ethernet port for my aging PC. Its far cheaper than ordring a new server (its 1/25th  the cost of Dell’s cheapest).
