That is pretty much exactly the configuration I was thinking of
setting up here.
In this case I have a Trendnet IP camera which will write to an NFS
share. I was looking for a server device that would be quieter and
consume less power than a conventional machine that I might be able to
run in a headless configuration. The Raspberry Pi seems to fit the
bill.
Throw in a couple of cheap usb drives and it seems to be a very
workable fairly inexpensive system.
