Hello,

I am putting together a NAS from cannibalised parts - AthlonIIx2 240e, 2GB Ram and 4 hard drives (2 laptop ones, a regular SATA one and one with IDE).

All I am going to be doing with the server is backing up all my important documents, once a week.

My only real requirements for the OS:

* Supports Smart
* Allows the Server to be run headless
* Allows the Hard Drives to be pooled and appear as a single disk (JBOD, not RAID0).
* Can be run off a USB drive

What is the best option for this?

Thanks
