[PLUG] USB Storage Servers


Greetings,
I am looking at the Linksys NSLUG2 and the  DLink DNS-120 for use as  light 
storage servers.  My big rub right now is they seem limited to two USB 
devices at a time.  I know the NSLUG2 uses Linux, so in theory this is 
fixable, but before I waste my time hacking does anyone else know of USB 
storage servers that are sub $100.

My basic requirement is that I can attach USB drives to it, and the volumes on 
it appear as SAMBA shares.  I don't really care beyond that, but having them 
run linux would be a plus.  Also no iSCSI or stuff like that, I really want 
SAMBA so that I can access it from all the systems in my house at the same 
time.

Cheers
