Looking to build a home web development server/backup machine/central file store .... but haven't got a clue where to start. Hardware I'm just going to throw together whatever's cheapest (there'll never be more than two machines accessing it at any time, so I'm not that bothered about access times etc.), but I need some pointers on software. Ideally windows, as I want it to run SQL server, but any viable alternatives would be handy to know.
TIA
