If you're not concerned about your electricity bill AND that your power adapter is sturdy (24/7 use will make it DAMN HOT, strap a fan on it), fah is a great option. REAL nice option
for the moment my 500gb hdd is enough, so dont need nas, file server or web server, i also dont see the need of a firewall and the hdd is 1.8" 250gb so i better just let it stay there and use it for folding. just need to wait for my external drive enclosure cause the dvd is the notebook is broken to install linux and fah.

As for linux, i just go get ubuntu or any other linux, get the driver and fah and i am good ?
