i just ordered an inexpensive 1u server w/ 4x sata slots to be used as a backup storage server. assuming it will boot from a usb device i'd like to set it up to boot linux via a smallish thumb drive, then create a four disk software raid device, mount it as /archive, and make it available via samba, nfs, and sshfs.

has anyone ever done a setup like this before, or have a suggestion for setting up the usb OS?

You could try FreeNAS. It's BSD that runs off a usb drive. http://www.freenas.org/
