=====Home Server Configuration===== ---- I was convinced to start a server at my house, so that's what I'm going to do! The server is running Debian. ====Step One: IT LIIIIIVES==== ---- I had it running crunchbang previously, but I do not have much experience with it and I figured that debian would be a much more reliable OS for my purposes, so I decided to run the server on debian. ====Other Things Server Related==== ---- ===SSH and Port-Forwarding=== ---- I set up port forwarding so I could ssh into the machine from anywhere, to make life easier! An issue I have is that **pancake** keeps getting assigned different private ip addresses when I shut it off. So, I am going to assign it a static local IP.
