I have a 1.4 t\bird, case, mem, etc and I will be adding somewhere in the region of 3-4+tb of storage.

2 questions

1 what would be the ideal OS

2 could I use another router as an access point plugged into the main router 9as I have 2 spare routers?


TIA
You've probably checked this already but i recently bought a buffalo linkstation live box

I had thought about network storage as a solution for a while. The actual device has a very small footprint, probably about half the height of a piece of A4. I picked the 500Gig model. Its hard wired to my wireless router. On my home network i habe my own lappy running Vista and my GF has a Macbook. It all works very well and there is a wealth of info/ and a forum about buffalo NAS. Apparently it runs some form of embedded linux. I have not delved too deeply ,it just works and sits there quietly.
