Oktober 2020 4:59 16 Kapitel 1 1 Die erste Begegnung mit einem Home Server Was genau ist eigentlich ein Server? Was ist das Besondere an einem Home Server? Und welche Aufgaben kann er in einem Heimnetzwerk übernehmen? Auf geht es! Jetzt können Sie in die Welt der Home Server eintauchen. Ich werde Sie zunächst einmal mit wichtigen Begriffen vertraut machen und Aufgabengebiete erklären. Danach stelle ich Ihnen die Hardware vor, um die sich dieses Buch dreht. Anschließend zeige ich Ihnen, wie Sie Ihren Home Server aufbauen und welche Zube- hörkomponenten Sie unbedingt benötigen. 1.1 Was müssen Sie mitbringen, und was können Sie von diesem Buch erwarten? Dieses Buch richtet sich an Einsteiger auf dem Gebiet der Server, die sich für einen kleinen Server im Heimnetzwerk interessieren und die Thematik erst einmal kennen- lernen und ausprobieren möchten. In diesem Buch werde ich von Ihnen keine Server- kenntnisse erwarten, sondern Sie werden sie von Grund auf erlernen. Sie sollten allerdings schon ein gewisses Grundwissen im Umgang mit Computern mitbringen. Das ist aus zwei Gründen erforderlich: Zunächst einmal müssen Sie natürlich wissen, wo Ihnen ein Server(-dienst) überhaupt behilflich sein kann und was Sie von ihm erwarten können. Zusätzlich benötigen Sie ein Grundwissen im Umgang mit Com- putern, da Sie Ihren Server ja komplett allein aufsetzen werden. Grundbegriffe wie Benutzernamen und Passwörter, die Bedeutung von Programmen und deren Installa- tion sowie der Umgang mit Dateien und Verzeichnissen auf Datenträgern sollten Ihnen also schon geläufig sein.
