Afternoon Guys,
I need a little bit of advice here, we running a NL40 HP Server that streams to the 2* raspberry pi's upstairs. The pc is used for the following:
1. Converting Music
2. Hosting The Media Libary
3. Chrome for browsing and Youtube
4. Downloading
The above is all used by my dad as im not at home often but i find that the server really suffers with general browsing and its got a dedicated GFX and 4GB of ram. Now i know that its a server we mainly got it because my dad doesnt use it often and it streams and downloads for us. Now what i wanted to find out my knowledge in PC's is decent and would perhaps replacing windows with a desktop linux be a better solution to the performance of the server? In terms of browsing and doing the functions my dad does aswell as in a streaming aspect ?
Your help on this is really appreciated.
