Amahi Blog

The last few months have been an interesting time for Amahi.

One of the first popular articles about Amahi was this Linux.com Amahi review. Since then, Amahi has improved dramatically, and several blogs and mutlple magazines have posted hands-on reviews about how simple Amahi has made their home networking (though not all of them have been glowing reviews, which is how Amahi improves!).

We though it was about time we collect some of these reviews!

Do you know any other reviews, articles or post entries? Post them below!

And while you are sharing, how did you find out about Amahi?

First we have a recent post by Luke Addison, who has an in-depth review about his switch from Windows Home Server to Amahi, including screenshots and all. In it, there is a short “things I miss/don’t miss” list comparing them. Guess who wins?

“It seems to run so much better than Windows Home Server.  It must be much lighter on resources.” — www.LukeAddison.com

MaximumPC posted a pretty wide review comparing several Home Networking projects including Amahi. Amahi stood well against competetors like unRAID and FreeNAS.

“This no-fuss home server software is free to operate and only requires that you have a working Fedora 10 operating system prior to installation.” — MaximumPC

The Flotier Designs blog gives a short, but positive, review of Amahi. However, if it were me, I wouldn’t have said that it “isn’t 100% reliable because it’s in Beta.” Many program and sites have been in beta for years and have been very reliable, however. He says,

“I’ve been using Amahi Home Server for a good while now and I have to say, I’d be lost without it.” — BrandonKernell.com

The Bauer-Power Amahi review also gives a short but positive review. He gives kudos to the community in the forum and on the IRC channel for their quick response:

“… the forums and irc channel are very active and responses to any issues are usually made within hours.” — Bauer-power.net

And finally, JetTheNerd’s Amahi post blog details his personal experience of setting up an Amahi server of his own. Again, while he has some bumps with Fedora 9 (which is now rather dated):

“… Amahi not only gives me a great file server built on a solid foundation in f9 but it has several other cool features that my old FreeNAS server just didn’t have.” — jetthenerd.com

In the last year, Amahi has grown in large part to blogs and articles like these. If you ever wanted to help on an open source project, but wasn’t sure of where to begin, do what these people did and write about it!

You don’t have to win a pulitzer, just get the word out!
