I'm kinda considering asking S. Claus to bring one of these kinda cool NAS things. They seem to do a whole bunch and the price is pretty decent. I am gonna want the thing to talk CIFS to Ubuntu and perhaps chat with XP a bit; but mostly concerned with folks that have one of these things that got it working. I'm planning on retiring an older debian server which is beginning to worry me a bit and it seems that I could even have it do some web serving. Any good or bad or other reports on the Qnap NAS devices out there? Thanks! -- Michael Perry | do or do not. There is no try. -Master Yoda mperry@lnxpowered.org | http://www.lnxpowered.org
