Thanks for the advice. I'll have to do some more reading to understand
all that well enough to try it myself, and get some cash together before
I buy a computer that will support all that.
I have a Dell 32 bit dinosaur (wallace kubuntu 14) and this computer
(ladmo kubuntu 18 64 bit). I have apache2 on wallace so I can share the
occasional file with friends. Instead of taking a short sound clip and
making a video out of it so I can share it with friends on facebook, I
just put it on wallace and give them the url. I also keep copies of my
pictures and music collection on wallace. So I have /var/www/html on
wallace and the user account on wallace mounted on ladmo via nfs. I
also have an ssh server on wallace so I can access it from ladmo and so
I can transfer files between my phone and wallace via sftp. I had
wallace connected to the router via the 100 mbit nic built into it until
Saturday when I found a gigabit nic in the cabinet where I keep boxes of
parts.
Good luck with your setup Michael. I would suspect nobody knows what
you're doing online except the CIA. :-)
