I know the processor isn't good enough to transcode most HD content on the fly but I'm trying to maximize what I can get out of this machine for the next 6-9 months at which point I will probably invest into a more powerful machine. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster.

This container is packaged as a standalone Plex Media Server.

That's it, it will not be used for anything else. Plex organizes video, music and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This laptop will share the external hard drive to all users on the network + run a version of Plex Media Server. Installing Plex Media Server 0.9.12.8 on Ubuntu 15.04 The installation process for this tool is pretty simple and quick, first of all download the installer package for this application from following URL according to your computer system architecture (either 32 bit or 64-bit). It will be connected to the network via its 10/100 Ethernet adapter.Ĭurrently I've got my 2TB external hard drive connected to the Linksys WRT610n wireless router but I've given up using its built in NAS capability as it's atrocious and thus want to make this notebook into a NAS.

1.7GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core processor.I have an old HP notebook that I am going to make into a NAS.
