Hi David,
Very nice article. I build my own NAS server from scratch recently and wasn't aware of Amahi. Instead I went with Ubuntu and setup everything manually. Looks like this could have saved me a lot of time. Do you know if it supports RAID? (no mention of that in the article). I used mdadm on Ubuntu and have a 3TB RAID6 array running. Have you looked at FreeNAS (FreeBSD based NAS software). It is much lighter than Amahi I think and offers similar functionality (+ and also RAID). I could not get it to work on my server, fairly common I think on a new system because driver support for FreeBSD is usually a bit behind.
I started a blog (http://www.imovedtolinux.com) logging all my issues and how I resolved them, more for therapeutic reasons than anything else.
