It was interesting that the reviewer seemed to like it, but was put off
by having to learn about linux in order to "customise" it, but never
seemed to indicate what customisation was required.

Further, the reviewer didn't seem to realise that networked storage
would be just fine for it.  In fact, anyone with a bubba excito would be
in fine fettle!

Perhaps the reviewer didn't know?  In any case, it looks like an
excellent machine to me.
