The title says it all. I am looking into buying a Mac Mini to use as a home theater PC, as well as an external storage server for wireless time machine backups of my 15" MBP and my wife's 13"MPB.
Essentially, I want Time Capsule functionality with the added benefit of having a Mac hooked up to my home theater.
When I ran my scheme past the sales person at my local Mac reseller, he told me that to share external storage over a wireless network I would need Lion or Snowleopard server.
Is this true? I thought I would be able to do it with a standard copy of Lion, but don't really have any experience to back that up.
Any help or advice on the subject would be must appreciated.
