your ideas.

[PiousPirate2006]

i live in a studenthome with 1000+ computers, most of them have files shared via samba and ftp.
i'd like to make a list of the files shared and make some kind of search possibility in this list.
i wonder if there is an open source solution for this task.

thanks in advice for your ideas. :)

Not sure of "anything" open source but you might consider a "Google Mini":
google.com/enterprise/mini/. If a new mini is out of your price range, you can often find them on ebay for far far less $! Good luck.
