moin, moin,

I've read articles on a few GNU/Linux appliances, but haven't kept tabs on
things.

I'm looking for something for someone else that can just be plugged in and
used for filestorage and backup. Filestorage needs to be samba and possibly
NFS and at this point I'd prefer snapshot backups with the option of writing
them to DVD.

I'd like it to hold a 100GB+ and it needs to use RAID. I'd prefere hardware
RAID, but software should be OK.

Working as a print server wouldn't be a bad bonus. As would functioning as a
DHCP server.

Redundant power would be outstanding.

I want to be able to purchase support for the product for both hardware and
software.

Source availability, of course, is a requirement. In fact, expect the source
code for the product to be in the first backup :).

Any suggestions?

I'm familiar with NAS from Linksys and despite the employee discount
( Cisco owns linksys ), it doesn't appear to be what I want. I'm not even
completely certain it's GNU/Linux-based.

If all else fails, I'd like a supported hardware solution and I'll take care
of the software.

ciao,
