Linux, BeOS, an Entertainment Center PC, etc. aren't exactly mainstream, ya know?
This product is for the uncles, parents and other people out there who had you install Ethernet for. Yes, it's spendy but it is still something to consider (or reverse engineer) because you can do the whole backup thing via "set it and forget it" applications (for Windows 2000/XP).
For those of us who just need (expandable) network storage, I'm buying one of these bad boys. It's cheaper, expandable and can be plugged into my server closet.
For those of you who have this thing about off-site storage, let me know if your ISP minds you using GBs of data on a regular basis and if it's worth the time to push that much data to an FTP site (like this). You might as well use RFC1149 if broadband isn't available to you!
In summary, buy an external HDD and a fire-proof safe. Backup your data regularly. And don't accept candy from strangers.
