Damn that looks sweet!  I didn't even know about it!
CentOS 3-based.

I'm sure they haven't addressed failover and many other
concerns, and it's not an "all-in-one" like old SME Server
(fka E-Smith), but it's definitely a nice, entry-level
"Filer".

I saw snapshots mentioned as well, which work quite well
under kernel 2.4 and LVM (i.e., CentOS 3).
