[TriLUG] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Anyone Upgraded Yet

[Ken MacKenzie]

Cool, thanks.  What I run now on an older machine that acts as a server is:

nginx

minidlna (might move to plex though)

and other than that it acts as a file server for the house

I may add a cups server to it as well though

And if I have to maintain windows here anymore I would virtualize that on
that one machine and let people rdesktop to it when they need it in the
house.  Obviously that is not something I could do on the Pi.  Anyway if I
can keep that windows virtualization out of the equation I might consider
that.  Lower energy footprint for a machine that would be running basically
all the time.  The current machine needs a new HD soon.
