Building dedicated server for WD

Thanks all for your input. It’s helping me make my decisions. Last night I set up the Linux version of WD on Ubuntu Server with ubuntu-desktop, PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin, and Webmin installed and so far I like what I see. Although in that kind of environment WD isn’t as “pretty” as it is in Windows. I’ll try all of this with a Windows virtual box and see if it makes any difference.
