Re: general broad question for help in setting up linux server and suggestions

I am thinking of setting up a server, both for local (at home use), (I

I would like to make a server I set up say at home available at the
workplace as well so that I don't have to run back home while at work.
If possible make the server accessible via a smart phone or some other
computer.
Two comments:
1. If you want to make the server available, via the net, you need to
look at something like Dynamic DNS. Broadband services tend to
periodically reassign your IP address.
2. If you have any expectation of providing any services - even
something as basic as hosting an email list, you can easily swamp a
desktop/laptop class machine. You probably want to look at something
Xeon based.
Personally, I've been looking rather longingly at the Intel NUC 9 Pro -
which provides a huge amount of capability in a mini-pc chassis.
Basically, a workstation class mini-pc. Of course, it's hard to get
one's hands on them these days, and a well-loaded system will easily set
you back $2-3000. You can get some comparable, Supermicro mini-itx
boxes for a bit less.
