====== Making a Stealth Server for Linux ======

====== Intro ======

After having all my files in a windows server and a Linux server, I've thought that it could be a good idea to have a server to have this files saved and make some automatic tasks, such as having a torrent, running some batchs and (why not) storing my personal cloud. 


====== Hardware ======

In the actual stage of this project, I am searching for a board. 

My first approximation was the [[http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00T2U7R7I/?tag=wwwsupermanha-21|Raspberry PI]], but eventually I gave up this approximation due to the little capabilities this board has. 

The second approximation was to look for the size this board could have: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer#Types.2C_standards|there are dozens of sizes of boards out there]], but I think the nanoITX is a good size: it's 12cm x 12cm, ideal to make a barebone with just a big hard disc (probably two with redundancy) and nothing else. Other option could be a Mini-ITX board, 17cm x 17cm: this is a bit bigger, but probably it could give better performance.

The third was to pick up a good board, now I am looking at this: [[http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00Q5ZEOCO?tag=wwwsupermanha-21|Asrock QC5000-ITX/PH]]. It has a good price and practically everytinthing I need but the wireless, but I think a wifi dongle could make a deal. And apparently it work with linux. 

Other option would be the [[http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00KL7KY6M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=3626&creative=24822&creativeASIN=B00KL7KY6M&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwsupermanha-21|ASRock H97M-ITX/AC]] or the [[http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00NY21PX2&tag=wwwsupermanha-21|Asrock QC5000-ITX]]. Both are fanless, but the problem I have right now is that I don't know if these boards work with Linux.
