I have an old revo3610 that I want to put as a server aswell.  I just installed ubunut 14.04 on it. I tried ubuntu 16 and for some reason the wifi would not work correctly so I then used 14 and it works great.

I am thinking of putting in more ram in mine also.

Are you using it for couch pototato or sickbeard etc...  Also I was going to use samba to file share.  What are your thoughts?

I wouldn't use full fat Ubuntu, the Unity DE will be far too bloaty for a little Revo.  I am using Xubuntu 16.04 x64, which is much lighter than actual Ubuntu.  I have upped my ram to 4GB and the machine works much better because of it.  The wifi on mine works perfectly, although I never use it, as already said wifi on a server is pointless, especially when it is an old Wifi g card.  Part of the attraction to this machine is it has full duplex gigabit ethernet.  I have no idea what sickbeard or couch potato are, so I can't help there.

I use NFS to share files, it is way much faster than Samba and is much more reliable too.  I used this guide...

I mount my drives in /etc/fstab like this....

Code:

LABEL=TV /media/john/TV auto nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0
LABEL=Movies /media/john/Movies auto nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0
LABEL=Movies2 /media/john/Movies2 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0
