Server number one is going to be pretty much just a media server, will
hold all my ripped movies and i'll probably run itunes as a simple way
of distributing all my music to various terminals around the house
i.e. other computers running itunes all sharing from central one.

Soon as I find a way of getting a pc to see iphoto shares then im
really laughing :)

Then im going to be looking for a geovision server at some point and
something to do home automation but thats some way off yet! the media
one essentially i have now i just havent raided it yet or got it in
the case I want yet!!
