thats the beauty of the qnap nas (as well as most others on the market)... you dont need to know squat. plug in your drives... if you have windows, they give you a little helper app to setup backup rotations and networking, and you're done. everything else is simple and self explanatory... log into the system via your browser, and control it all... media sharing, itunes server, etc.

the nice part is, if you want more... its there. if you are a more advanced user, they offer a telnet client to jump into the core of the os and set it up as you see fit. host sites, run your pwn programs, etc. its all there, at a fraction of the cost, and without the proprietary bs.
