split networking into own section, added squid comment
* Surveying and polling
== Networking & Backups ==
* '''PBA backups''' don't seem possible with default Mac OS X 10.x BIOS, so maybe running Netboot server on HDA would help somehow. Probably not helpful with backups, but at least letting, say, a Macbook network boot would be really cool.
** [https://www.math.ohio-state.edu/wiki/administration/macosx/netboot/bsdp_with_isc_dhcp Mac OS X BSDP Service using a GNU/Linux Server]
**[http://www.sysresccd.org/ system rescue cd] might be able to boot it, then let PBA take over. '''tried but didn't get too far'''
* I also wonder if some sort of VM could be run on any client and that would help run some more complex rsync incrementals.. hmm
 
== Networking ==
* I don't know where it's at already, but '''Printer Sharing''' must be high on some lists. I know I'm sick of having to have a printer tethered to my computer :)
* I'd like some sort of name resolution redundancy so that when HDA goes down, my PCs can at least still surf the 'net. Does that mean having a secondary DNS setup in DHCP?
* '''volume management''' need easy tools for adding new volumes, e.g external drives and setting user parameters, etc. Also do an automated sharepoint mapping samba/nfs for them. Idea being that a user can plug it in and not do anything on the desktop itself.
** NFS shares are defined in ''/etc/exports''. Would be good to have exports that mirror the samba shares - to give more options. I know on Mac it ''seems'' to handle NFS quicker.
* '''Squid''' proxy server can reduce external bandwidth and improve local performance for web browsing. It is installed by default in FC9. It would be good to have for home networks.** '''Update:''' Some simple configuration worked well for basic browsing. However the various HDA-specific names in the DNS failed. Read more on the [[SquidConfiguration]] page.
== Mapping Applications ==
* I put together this simple web-mapping application demo: HDA [[Maps]]
