Ok so my family/I would like to have a home server for streaming movies, picture's, documents, etc...... I have done some research into the idea of making a "home server", and the choice's of software are imminence. FreeNAS, MythTv, PlexTv..... I have none or the bare-bone's of this knowledge. Since I am the most "Techy"(don't like the use of that word) one in the family they resorted to me(their son). I have no clue on what to do or even where to start, but i am willing to learn. The system/build is easy, i sorta know the correct path to go, when building it. The software is the hard part.
