Ever since I heard about Microsoft Windows Home Server, I thought this was exactly what the techie community needed in their homes.

Well, for those who use Microsoft products anyway. It seems Microsoft may have more competition when it comes to Linux.

A group on the Ubuntu forums are talking about a Ubuntu Home Server version that could possibly replace a $500 version of Microsoft's Window Home Server. The best part is that the Home Server version would be free.
