Re: [OT] Anti-virus / anti-spyware other essential programs?

Hummmm ...

Interesting. but I already have a Synology NAS and it replicates a lot of
those functions I already have.

Backing up etc. could be done using software. Not as neat as the all in one
solution from the home server. But I think if I was going for a dedicated
server machine I would go for the full blown MS server so that I could run
exchange as my wife uses Macs so I would get some compatibility.

Does the homeserver talk with Macs apart from file sharing?
