Go for a pico-ITX motherboard (basically a very small PC)<br><br>Network gateway? WRT54GL<br><br>Network Addressed Storage (NAS)? NSLU2 (also know as slug).<br><br>To build your own system from scratch from components, ie buy a processor, memory, FLASH storage, network interface, sound, video, USB, power supply would all need to be thought about.<br><br>As your are a beginner, I would suggest buying something like the NSLU2. Good little device to start with. Check out the page www.nslu2-linux.org for info.<br><br>Ian<br><br><div
