It takes moments to get up and running, and while some of the configuration can be tricky, once it's working, it pretty much takes care of itself, and you'll never really need to log in to the server itself—everything can be managed from its dashboard, which you can log in to from any other computer on your network. If you're an advanced user looking to set up the perfect NAS, and you need tons of drive configuration and access options, FreeNAS is the way to go.
If you want your home server to do lots of things, like serve as a VPN, a media server, a web server, and so on, Amahi is a better option—not just because it's easier to install, but because it supports plug-ins that do all of those things and we'll highlight some of them later.
When you sign up for an Amahi account, the control panel will ask you for the IP address of your Amahi server on your home network usually It's a little odd, since you haven't even installed it yet, but don't worry about it. Choose something high on your home network that's not used by another device, and write it down.
If you already know the IP address of the computer you want to install Amahi on, use that. Just keep in mind that it's associated with your install code, and you can't change your install code. If there's an error here and you have to change IP addresses or install codes, you may have to reinstall Amahi.
In this guide, I'm using the Amahi Express installer, which is designed for clean installs—it'll wipe your drives before installing itself. If you want to keep your data intact or install on a partition, you can use the advanced install options below, or disconnect the drives with data that you want to preserve and add them back to the system later once Amahi is up and running.
Installing Amahi is pretty easy. Here's how to do it:. You can log directly into the console using the username and password you set up earlier, but you'll be dropped at a command line.
That should take you to a welcome screen where you can set up your user account. Once it's created, you'll land at the Amahi Dashboard. Once you're logged in, you'll be dropped at the Users tab on the Dashboard. Here, you can add any additional users who'll need to log in to the server, or access any of the shared files or applications on your HDA.
Here's a video guide from the Amahi team on how to set up and manage user accounts:. Before we move on, head over to your Amahi control panel to make sure your server shows up there. You should also get an email congratulating you on a successful install, if everything went well and you typed in your install code correctly.
Some error messages may be generated as information is written to the partition table, but they should not be significant at this point because the next step is to restart the computer and then install the new operating system. Install Windows. Follow the installation instructions for the Windows operating system you want to install on your computer.
The installation process assists you with creating the appropriate partitions on your computer. Note that there are other ways to remove the Linux operating system and install Windows than the one mentioned above. The preceding method is used in this article because the Linux operating system is already functioning and there is no more room on the hard disk.
There are methods of changing partition sizes with software. Microsoft does not support Windows installed on partitions manipulated in this manner. Another method of removing an operating system from the hard disk and installing a different operating system is to use an MS-DOS version 5. Run the Fdisk utility. If you have multiple drives, there are 5 choices; use option 5 to select the hard disk that has the partition to be deleted.
After that, or if you have only one hard disk, choose option 3 "Delete partition or logical DOS drive" , and then choose option 4 "Delete non-DOS partition". You should then see the non-DOS partitions you want to delete. Typically, the Linux operating system has two non-DOS partitions, but there may be more. After you delete one partition, use the same steps to delete any other appropriate non-DOS partitions. After the partitions are deleted, you can create partitions and install the operating system you want.
Debian noroot installs Debian 7. Once you've downloaded Debian noroot from the Play Store, open it, then wait as it fully installs all the packages. When that's done, Debian should open, letting you drag a mouse cursor around a desktop-type interface. There are no programs pre-installed on Debian, so you'll need to install them all yourself. If you're familiar with Linux, then you'll feel right at home using the root terminal to 'apt-get' all the programs you need.
If what we just said means nothing to you, don't panic, and follow the below steps:. Pairing up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with your Android device is easy. Once these things are connected to your device, Debian automatically detects them, and lets you use them. So you're now set up to use your Android device as a mini-desktop PC, but why stop there? For just a little extra effort, you can connect your Android device to a monitor, turning it into a full-sized Linux computer.
There are a couple of ways you can do this. If you're lucky enough to own a Chromecast, then you can open the Chromecast app, tap the menu at the top left, then tap Cast screen to mirror your Android display onto the monitor or TV connected to the Chromecast.
There are some dodgy knock-off ones out there, so make sure to buy one that's well rated. The one pictured above from Cablesson did the job without any problems. So there you have it. Your Android device is now a fully functioning Linux PC, contained in a neat little app icon on your Android homescreen.
No need to even root! Have you tried using your Android as a desktop PC? Does it do the job well, or are smartphones not quite powerful enough for that yet? Also a movie buff with a soft corner for film noir. Outstanding Abishek: Very nice to visit your site just for your depth and enthusiasm in the one of the Nicer OS platforms.
