The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help me setup my Linux file server and network (NTFS, ETX3, FAT32??)

Asked by bemara57 in Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Distributions

Tags: etx3, ntfs, linux, file

I'm trying to have my Linux box serve files and websites. I have an external drive that holds about 500GB of data and want to serve that to people. The problem is that most of these people use Windows computers. How shall I format the drive, FAT32? I heard that you can't have partitions more than 32GB, but that doesn't sound practical since most of my folders are bigger than 32GB. One of my folders are 150GB. Also, how should I handle security? Should I just prompt them for a user/password for each folder? Or is it posible to set up users in Linux to have access to only certain folders (like NTFS). Is this what CHMOD is? I'm thinking of using Gentoo or Ubuntu as my Linux server. Please help, I'm trying to get away from Windows server since it's expensive and crashes all the time. I'm leaving the dark side! Thanks in advance for any help and experiences.
