The B3 is a fully featured server and router with BitTorrent download and media streaming capabilities, not to mention file, mail and web services. All this, and it’s the same size as an external hard drive…
The idea of using a Linux-based personal server for all your storing and streaming needs makes a lot of sense. But building and configuring your own Linux server can be daunting. Enter B3, a Linux-based personal server from Swedish firm Excito. This can handle pretty much any task you throw at it: streaming music, managing downloads, creating and sharing photo albums. You can use B3 as a router and firewall, file and FTP server, and a web and mail server. B3 is powered by Debian Squeeze, so you can extend its functionality by installing packages from Debian’s vast software collection. While B3’s user-friendly web-based interface makes it easy to configure and manage the server even for less tech-savvy users, you can also gain full access to B3’s underlying system via SSH. B3 is built to last and to withstand harsh treatment, and its fanless design makes it whisper quiet. Depending on the configuration, B3 consumes only 5-13W power – it’s one of the most power-efficient personal servers on the market.
