[ale] NAS in Linux/windows network

[Grady Harris]

Just this morning, the Weekly Gentoo Newsletter had an article about the Kuro
NAS. No idea how well it works, but, golly! it's got Japanese characters on it!
My nephew at Georgia Tech will be sure to invent a reason he must have one:

I checked the distributor's website:
http://www.revogear.com/
which had the PowerPC 266 MHz/128 MB RAM version listed at $240. Is that a good
price for this sort of thing?
