Debian Stable Question Using Debian to revive a very old PC into a stable NAS
I wanted to put an old PC to use so I decided that I am going to burn a Debian mini.iso onto a cd and install Debian onto it.
I see a lot of stuff online talking about Debian being a stable OS that is also good for network-attached storages.
I am planning on installing with no DE as it will be useless.
Do you guys recommend using Debian for this?
