I have an old optiplex system which i want to use as an FTP and Media server. I'm wanting to get more into linux so I'm wondering a few things
- Would NOT running a GUI allow more room for the CPU and GPU to focus on other things?
- Would I be able to set up a system where I have two ethernet controllers, and use them in a bridged mode? (Like Microsoft's Windows Bridge Mode)
- I need to run Telnet (SSH), FTP (vsftpd), Transmission (Bit-Torrent), Subsonic, Apache and Serviio as well as a SAMBA client for use with a Media drive almost 1TB in size
Is all this doable from a command line perspective... I know that i can set up FTP first to aid in setting up of different things such as configurations etc. I just need to know if it's feasable
Thanks alot, sorry if I duplicated questions or w.e, I'm new to this site.
