How to Build a Raspberry Pi File Server

Here we go with that argument again.

The point of all these people doing "Raspberry Pi" articles with basic Linux stuff is to teach people who just bought a Pi and don't know how to use it. The overall point of this device is education.

You are correct it is a great introduction to how to use linux to serve files and a key use case for the Pi. But why is it on hacker news?

The is also a user on Reddit who posts lots of articles from this source to /r/raspberry_pi.

/r/raspberry_pi is basically overwhelmed with these type of articles. It also features a huge number of posts related to raspberry pi cases. Overall it is fairly disappointing.

These articles are much less informative than explaining how to google for this information.

Possibly because we have beginner hackers amongst us :)

I think HN is a good place for hackers of all shapes, sizes and experiences.

Sure, thought the parent comment is correct. I think the comment is fine, I couldn't read any tone coming from it. It's adding information - that these instructions works with other hardware.
