I was also thinking of using Ubuntu instead of windows specially for security.


My website has loads of family Pictures and videos so my users will be limited to maybe 10 users at any given time.
A Dell gx240sff or a hp d510USDT will only set you back about £40 at most second hand on ebay. I think the d510usdt or d51usdt would be the best as it is the slimmest of the two and I would argue quieter. Both run pretty much silent though and both are considerably cheaper than a laptop even if you add a small tft.
