I've got one of these NAS devices at home that is always on: http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=167

I'd love to see installers made for a few of the NAS devices on the market for this. It would solve the "must have another computer on" thing really well.

I've been using AeroFS in headless mode on my NAS as well, and it's worked fine so far (the headless mode itself, I think there were a few bugs in AeroFS).

I'll try it again now, however. If they nail the fundamentals down, it'll replace Dropbox for me.

EDIT: Or do you mean custom NAS OSes? Mine just runs Ubuntu.

QNAP have some packaging stuff of their own, and make it simple to one-click install and keep it updated.

I used to build my own SqueezeBox Server for years from source, but after a while I just wanted it reasonably up to date, in a stable build, without the hassle. I'd hope that AeroFS would be packaged in the same way so it's not another thing on my list of things to maintain.

I just bought a Synology DS411j yesterday and I intended to run AeroFS on there. Unfortunately, AeroFS requires the JVM which I believe won't run on my NAS. (JamVM might with some hacking). Hopefully there'll be a solution soon because I really hoped I could setup my own Dropbox at home on my NAS.
