Reuse My Up Board for Cloud Server
Hello People I have an Up Board (2GB-32GB) that i've used for my old Projects and ideas, and now is unused, I want Reuse in my Home for do a Small Cloud Server, I want take a small HDMI 3,5" TFT Screen (320x480) for server status and use a Raid 1 Box 3,5" or 2,5" HDD USB3, I need some home services like a small TS3 Server, Cloud Server, PrintServer (we have 4 Printer) and services like Transcoding or Decoding for our SmartTV
I have some Questions:
What could be the best OS (Win or a Distro?) for these porpuses? (I know nothing about Server Building)
Can Up Board Boot OS from external Storages? (EMMC is so slow and act like a bottleneck on all sistem)
Are There problems with USB3 or HDMI at small resolutions or GPIO-I2C? (not important, because I donk know how to use it, but TFT have I2C Touch)
Some Suggestions?

Hello Alessandro
If you want to use a supported 3.3 TFT screen you need to use one of the supported distribution, like ubilinux (Debian 9) or Ubuntu 16.04
https://wiki.up-community.org/TFT_Display_HATsYou can use openmediavault with ubilinux following the instructions from this page: https://openmediavault.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/on_debian.html
The UP Board supports booting from USB (also USB3.0), make sure you have the latest BIOS installed for better performance and stability
