Thanks for the quick reply, mate.  My ReadyNAS is the Ultra 4, latest RAIDiator
version, 3x2TB disks.

Hadn't heard of those "plug" type servers before.  Got a local source for them?
I'd be after one that I can install my own distro onto, I noticed at least one
of those you mentioned uses a customised Ubuntu (Maverick?).  I'd also be keen
on using RAID, is that possible with them?
