The Linksys NSLU is an amazing box, it's a little bigger than a pack of cards and runs an embedded linux. Has 2 USB 2.0 ports and can share 2 x 250GB external drives.
By default it shares to windows boxes using SAMBA, however it can be 'altered' to do many things... See: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/HomePage Mine is an NFS NAS file server, with SSH logins, SFTP, GNU gcc compilation toolchain, and most of the standard linux core utilities.
