I am getting tired of maintaining all of my computers I have setup for
firewall and servers and things. My IPCop box (firewall) will be replaced by
a router. But my file server is a different thing. I just lost a hard drive
that is close to 8 years old in my file server. Luckily all of the data was
sitting on another drive, but I see now as the time to think about doing
something different. I want a minimal maintenance solution. I saw that
NetGear has a file-server type thing, but is a Windows only solution (

and Western Digital has a solution (

that might work, but I can't tell if it is mirrored drives or just a single
hard drive and they only mention Windows.
I just want a file server that I can access via most operating systems
(Windows, Linux or OS X) with minimum need to maintain it with a way to run
backups on my PCs so that I don't have data loss. I know that the Windows
Home Server is coming out soon as well, but would I hit the same road block?
What are your suggestions?
