Here are a couple Linux appliances (appliances meaning you download an
iso, burn a cd, and these NAS systems install automatically, so you
don't have to know anything about Linux).

FreeNAS is smaller/faster meant for old/slow hardware or embedded
systems:

Openfiler is bigger, but with more features and not meant for slow
servers:

http://www.openfiler.com/

In general, FreeNAS is probably much easier to setup for a newbie and
has won some open source awards, it's VERY nice.  I don't know why
anyone would buy a NAS with something like FreeNAS out there, the small
consumer level NAS devices are kinda slow (not to mention expensive). 
Hope this info helps.
