Though I really like the artigo, I've since thought of getting a soekris [1] based router that I could use as a router/firewall but also run two usb drives off of it, essentially replacing the artigo. Though tempting the soekris devices still are only 100mbit routers and I'm not willing to chip out that kind of money for a 100mbit device.

I had a couple of 4801s from Soekris and was not *that* impressed. First of all one died, so here my judgement could be a little clouded by how p**** off I was when it did, but even so, I found their performance on both network and disk IO to be pretty bad.

FWIW, I was running Ubuntu 8.04 on them.

If someone wants the one that is still alive to play with, just ping me. It's gathering dust in the basement!
