I have my own home server which runs on the Linux Operating System. I use it to store the music and documents for the whole family as well as host a web, FTP and SSH server and act as a development platform for my web applications.
While I have put the time and effort into ensuring the server is as secure as possible. I am none too aware that there could and probably are security holes and vulnerabilities exposed by services that could be exploited by an attacker. I would like to know how many times (if any), my server has been compromised and by whom.
If I were to have this information, I would first find the vulnerability or hole the perpetrator used to gain access and secure it to ensure it is not exploited again. Secondly I would seek to learn some of the skills employed by the perpetrator that were used in order to gain access and use this knowledge to hole foresee other possibly holes a vulnerabilities in my setup and configuration.
What would you do?

Well if i had a server at home and be worried that someone could have attacked it,I would do the following.
Head to secunia.com and check for the latest vulnerabilities of that product .The site also provides proof of concept codes to test it on your system and at times workarounds to that situation.
Then go to zone-h.org and look for the latest attacks and see if someone with the same configuration was attacked.The site also provides tools for inspecting various vulnerabilities and solutions to them.
