On such a system you can easily run the latest and greatest kernel and toolset. As long as you do not run a graphics engine, or too many daemons, you’ll be fine.
Even if the performance is slightly less then an older version, you’ll never notice but you would have the latest security at your disposal.

@David B – So that I can turn my main computer (the big one) off and leave torrents downloading without interruption. ;)
(And I can access all files from any other computer and always have backups).

Why don’t you just play it from your own computer?

This seems almost overly complicated. I have a pc tucked away running ubuntu with a shared folder on the network that stores my files. When I want to play something, I simply play it over the network via the shared folder. For my downloads, there’s a directory in the shared folder that my torrent client always checks for new torrents and loads them automatically when they appear in the folder. (So I browse for my torrents on whatever PC, then save the torrent in the shared folder) When the download is finished the file is moved to the “downloads” folder so I know it’s been completed. When I need access to the PC, I simply use the remote desktop viewer. (although it’s pretty rare that I need to do anything on it) I’m not sure why it was necessary to install a web server, database, ssh, etc etc .. (Although i’m almost sure there’s a very good reason i’m not thinking of)

Thanks for the great post!
