Need a WIFI device to emulate USB storage indeed, not "portable storage" but "remote storage", if that makes any better sense. |

Need a WIFI device to emulate USB storage @sawdust Receiver writes and reads, 3rd party accesses will be rare and done manually by myself so chances for concurrent access of a file will be basically 0. There is no need for the receiver to be aware of anything special, just to see it as a usb storage device. |

Need a WIFI device to emulate USB storage @Ramhound there is no need to extend the NAS in any way. There will be a virtual machine with a dedicated partition for this kind of data. |

1 PC, 2 consoles (as in 2 monitors, keyboards and mice) to say the least, it's not secure. the linux server also acts as a firewall for the private network. This aspect could be resolved by a very good router, but then again, those don't come cheap. Whereas the linux firewall solution is practically free. And there is the issue of windows hosts that tend to eat up a lot of resources compared to an esx host for example, taht is a rather stripped version of a regular linux server. But the main issue is security: the internet must be plugged into the firewall. I'm a security paranoid user so that stays high for me :) |

1 PC, 2 consoles (as in 2 monitors, keyboards and mice) It's definitely an interesting find. Not good enough for me though, as I also need a linux server. 2 PCs are better than 3, but 1 PC is even better. so I'll wait soem more, maybe someone gets me exactly what I'm looking for ;) thanks |

1 PC, 2 consoles (as in 2 monitors, keyboards and mice) I don't see how that eliminates the need for multiple PCs. It actually requires it. |

1 PC, 2 consoles (as in 2 monitors, keyboards and mice) good point. The server needs to be on linux and at least one "VM" needs to be on windows (I'm doing win development, so there's no real good way around it). My wife can do her stuff of a linux box. This is one of the reasons I thought of esx, as I'll be needed at least 2 operating systems to run on the same time. |
