What exactly does the home-server do that couldn't be done on the clients connected to it, once they are running?
Run Linux 24/7. :-)
For what I do with my PC it's far safer to store my files on a seperate machine. I tend to tweak linux a lot (I run Gentoo) so breakage is a regular thing. I've learned through the last few crashes that backups and storing files off the PC are the best way to keep my spouse, and therefore me, happy. For some reason she gets mad when our photo collection isn't accessible on the media box. :-)
