I want to build a media server to be able to stream my movies, music and pictures from anywhere or a tv. I am debating a couple of options and wondering what all your thoughts are:
1). Build an Ubuntu media server using Ubuntu server, low power and stable. Dedicated machine to just run as a server with all my stuff
2) Windows Server dedicated to media, no screen just like I would do with Ubuntu, dedicated media server.
3) install a 1TB or more HD in a desktop and run Plex. So I can access all my stuff on the go.
I am still doing all my research, but wanted to start soliciting thoughts from thus community.
Note: I am primarily a WP user, however I am not anti Linux, just no apple
