The Web's Largest Dedicated Windows Home Server Resource by Microsoft MVP Philip Churchill.
Microsoft Windows Home Server - WHS will automatically backup and restore your PCs and allow you to share and access files from any machine in the house as well as giving you remote access to those files and PC’s as well. This site will guide you on your journey of discovery with WHS.
Version 0.3.0 of the add-in Advanced Admin Console is available for download. The add-in which allows you to access administrative tools on the server directly from the console adds a new feature in this version. You can now customize the display order of the built-in tabs and program shortcuts or you can disable them.

The Home Server Tips website bought a Linux based alternative to WHS called Amahi to my attention.
The Amahi server (pronounced ah-MAH-hee – rhymes with Mahimahi, the fish) is about making your home networking simple. They came up with the term HDA (Home Digital Assistant) to describe what the Amahi Linux Home Server aims for. Something as simple to use as a PDA, for home networking.
An Amahi HDA provides:
You can use a spare computer with at least a 800MHz processor and 512MB RAM or they can send you a desktop box pre-configured as an HDA with a Pentium III 800MHz processor with 256MB of memory and a 20GB disk for FREE (-shipping). A Power user option is available with a PC using an AMD Opteron 244 chip running at 1.8GHz with 2GB of memory and a choice of hard disk, all in a black desktop workstation case for a very low cost.
Amahi is currently available as a private beta program for enthusiasts and I have got 3 invitations available for anyone interested in participating. Just leave a comment below. If you still want to participate once all 3 invitations go then email Amahi for an invitation code as they state:
“We really love it when people write us telling why they would like to use the Amahi Linux Home Server, and we are very thankful for the requests we get to join the program.”
More information on Amahi, including an FAQ, a WIKI and their blog are all available from here.
