I've got a Sheevaplug and I'm very happy with it.  It's one of the earlier 
dev kit models.  The newer ones seem prettier :)

Mine is acting as a firewall.  I wish it had 2 NICs - apparently the logic
to support this is on board.  Since it doesn't I use a NIC on one side and
a USB<->Ethernet bridge on the other.  It's been working well for nine
months.

I think it would make a fine fileserver/NAS.

Cheers,

Rob
