That Tinkering Feeling

A friend of mine recently bought a new Mac desktop machine, his first such venture into the arena. I got to play around with it over the weekend and came away impressed. The neatest thing I got to see was the Parallels Desktop, a virtualization solution in which he setup Windows XP and was working on getting Ubuntu up and going.

While I don't see myself buying a Mac anytime soon, it did get me thinking about my little home network. I am strongly thinking about creating a new domain/file server based on Ubuntu and Samba, but first I'm going to need more hard drive space. And then, of course, I'll have to follow through. Updates to come... hopefully...
