====== Building a eco-friendly home server with Voyage Linux  ======

Why spend over HK$1,000 for a **eco-friendly** 586 class machine? The reason behind this is so obvious that need no more explanation. 

The major goals:
  * Operate 7x24 with very lower power consumption.
  * Support P2P file sharing. No more leaving the desktop PC on just for P2P!
  * Provide basic NAS functions.

Desirable features:
  * Act as a WiFi broadband router
  * Schedule to record internet radio programs
  * Act as media streaming server


===== Requirement =====
  * Voyage Linux 0.6.2 LiveCD. Download from [[http://www.voyage.hk|voyage website]]. Or from here: {{:voyage:voyage-0.6.2.tar.bz2|voyage-0.6.2.tar.bz2}}
  * [[http://www.pcengines.ch|ALIX board]] and accessories, a null modem cable for the console port is a must.
  * Compact Flash, at least 1GB.
  * A regular Debian box as the build-box for compiling additional stuff.


===== Installation =====

The installation is basically copying the fs image from the CD to a ext2 partition in the CF.
Steps is in the {{:voyage:voyage-install-readme.txt|README}} file.
