But in the contect of this discussion, I want to have one place with
reliable and large storage for all the stuff (mostly multimedia) that
I have. Then I can access if from all of the computers I have; 2
laptops, workstation (currently 2 of them) and PDA (in near future). I
do not want to duplicate data to different computersa and always
wonder in which computer do we have the photos of last x-mas. I want
to stream multimedia to my AV systems (like possible with the MS media
centers and multiple hardware clients).

I do not think I'm the only one with these needs.

you may be the only with enough money to achieve it :-))

anyway, data centers using Linux are a lot, so I don't see really where is the problem here. use hardware raid bay, you can have multi-tera ones, use gigabit ethernet...

and all this is not a backup option, you'll need also a backup device

I know many small offices that can build this for you and manage it if you want.

and if you are really for security, may be you should loan an online system (hosted computer, for example), much more secure than home (do you have a home prevented from fire and water fall, and childs and friends? :-)

however, you may have a problem with video editing (for photos, there are lots of solutions). Know no really workable Linux solution yet (may be Cinelerra on a really powerfull computer, the product seems promising but my HW is not capable)
