Great product. Bought NASLite+ after working with Naslite for a while and realizing I needed DMA support to push video files around.

Since NASLite plus loads from CD, maybe you can make room for some of these:
1. Newer Samba, sans the 4gig file limit
2. RAID support, esp software RAID5.
3. Support for PCI IDE controllers
4. File/Folder security ACLs
5. Default Gateway support

I love the telnet interface, but it would be nice to be able to admin from a browser as well. It would also be nice to be able to surface scan a disk without formatting it first.

I just wanted to echo the wich list posted by lusid. Excellent job!

The lack of Raid5 is the only thing stopping me from using NASLite+ as my primary data storage location. Is there any estimate as to when this feature might be available?

Also, I believe I saw in another post from Tony that external USB and Firewire drive support is on the way. WOOHOO!! That is also a big plus.

Thanks for building NASLite!
