There was a product a few years ago (I think called Mirra) that acted
as a home server or office server (based on size) that ran Linux.
You set it up and let it run.
Mirra got bought out and I have not heard much from them, but it did
automated backups and the works using a Linux product.

A Mini would be too expensive for this.
Prices for Linux-based home servers are incredibly low. OWC has the
"NASPerform Network Storage Solution" with 500GB storage going for $210.
I have been using the Linksys NSLU2 for a couple of years now. That sells
for $60 (without disks).
The Microsoft Home Server runs Windows Server 2003 which I don't think
any sensible person would pick for trouble-free operation. However, the
price looks to be competitive. LaCie promises a version for later this
month with 500GB storage for $199.
