I read this article (sorry: German), which describes how to install a custom Debian system on that device, found that whole thing _very_ cool and wanted to do the same thing with a Gentoo OS.

It's a mini Linux based device, with the intended use to store files on attached USB devices and serving them within a cable based network, using an application to access them and also storing that files somewhere online in the net. Today I bought a " Seagate FreeAgent DockStar" for 40 €.
