    At the moment myself and my brother share our music collections (in separate locations, 200 miles away) but as we're each running out of space would it be sensible to build a high storage headless Linux box for this purpose? It would be left on 24/7 to be accessible via the internet by me, his desktop PC, and the laptop in the same house his desktop and laptop in the same house, and via the internet by me. We'd also look in to using it as a bit of a makeshift torrent seedbox.

    Data backup etc. are all important.

    Would we be better off just going for a NAS?

    Not sure you should be announcing you're planning a torrent seedbox? :)

    Torrent seeding is perfectly legal. It's only illegal when you don't own the copyright.
