Music? Gaming? pr0n?

Do tell! I'm thinking about building one for the heck of it (music and other media), and am curious as to what other uses you guys/gals are getting out of yours!

Music and movies (TV shows, movies, etc). It's a dedicated bit torrent machine, too.

Mines running Ubuntu with Apache and I am serving streaming music using Jinzora to my work. Also, it's set up as a Samba server to share files and cd images with my windows machines. This way when I have lan parties and someone forgets a cd we don't have to kill them :p

(Shrug) When I had a server at my old apartment, I used it as a print server. That's it, really.

I might go hunting on ebay to see if I could find a copy of Wildcat BBS.

Personally, I still enjoy takingBarneysplat! for a spin every now and then.

HTTP, FTP, NAS, Ventrilo, BT

It holds mostly media and other downloads. My next step is to organize the contents.

Right now I have an old PIII running Xubuntu and I use it primarily to hold my TV episodes and backup disk images. It's also running Torrentflux on a web server.

I've been using Synchronet. It's free and does the job well enough.

Games currently on it are: Dog World II, Falcon's Eye, Lemonade, LORD, Lunatix, Planets TEOS, and Usurper.

Internet, it is a proxy server. Stupid satellite connection is really slow without a proxy set up.

XAMPP running on XP Pro

Music + streaming

Games + game server
Webcam server
Website

Just looking at it though, you'd only think it's just a normal nuke based website, funny thing is, that's probably the least used part of it, I know it's at least a year out of date.
