Ahm, yeah, why?  Do you need help, are you having problems or 
something?

I know nothing about PogoLinux.  Why them over something like a Dell 
or HP and installing Linux yourself?

Or, if you're just looking for pure NAS storage with NFS/SMB 
capabilities, why not something like OpenNAS, or, if you have the 
money, a real NetApp.

If you don't have the money, I'd go with a standard PC server 
combined with a small external RAID array connected via SCSI3.
