About four years ago I had the same problem. As the rest of my family
began to use PCs as well and want to share documents, mails, media files
and other stuff between the computers and want to use the infrastructure
(printer, scanner ...) I decided to set up a dedicated server.

This grew up to a (almost) full blown server (PIM, Samba, LDAP,
kerberos, VPN, UPnP/DLNA ...) with a centralized backup and central
stored home data (NFS for stationary clients and rsynced for mobile
clients). It is just to proof my admin skills.

And regarding PIM (that's the way back to akonadi): This is the first
time I can sync contacts and calendars from my mobile (android and iPod
touch) to thunderbird and kmail2. I simply use a CalDAV/CardDAV server
(SOGo in this case). And sharing between different users is working as well.

Martin
