Hoping to tap the collective PH wisdom here.
Run various machines in the house, but the main box upstairs is a big linux machine which does all my general work and photo processing. The TV has a Win7 box underneath that does all the TV/DVR/DVD/BR/Music/Streaming type stuff.
I need a NAS for video, music and photos that all the machines can access easily. Ability to run as a print server would also be useful. I'm also considering a pure sensia (http://www.touchmyradio.com/) for the kitchen/patio/etc which should also hook in and stream media as required.
A final nice touch would be if selected people could also access the NAS remotely as read only (I'm thinking of photo distribution here).
Looking around, the Buffalo Linkstationo Live would seem to do all of that, and is a decent price;

Anyone got one? Is it any good? Is it quiet? Will Ubuntu/Debian/RedHat talk to it and play nicely?
Cheers for any info.
