I recently found this Debian based home server which I think will be great for the home.
The Bubba Server from Swedish based Excito, can act as a local back up device, personal web server, FTP server and music server.
Key Points
Stylish small form factor enclosure in ivory white or sky blue colour options
Very quiet as there are no fans – only the noise of the hard drive
10w typical power drive – far less then other alternatives
Easy admin access via browser
