That makes sense the post is from 2002 and the link was good for 2-3 years after since it would be 20 years before today.

Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.
In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.
Top to Bottom:
- 48port Patch panel
- Cisco 2990 48 port Poe
- 48port Patch panel (future)
- Cisco 2990 48 port Poe (future)
- 24 port patch panel (spare)
- Pfsense 2.5gb eth minipc
- 4u server 20 bay (proxmox)
Bottom area:
- 2 mini pcs (proxmox)
- PiKVM and ezcoo switch connected to all PCs
- Couple of UPS
The access to the crawlspace isn’t great so the CrapRack tm had to be assembled in the crawlspace.
So, one thing that’s not clear here. Is the server and your desktop both at the same location? If they are I see no reason why you couldn’t just leave all the files on the server, have an NFS or Samba share then just stop it on the server and start it (over the network share) on your desktop. It would be functionally seamless, would require no effort to keep the files in sync, and would ensure your running things in the box you want.
