[GRLUG] linux friendly print/scan server device?

[Josh]

oh get a pogoplug, you can pick one up for 50 bucks or so from bestbuy,  If
best buy stopped carrying them you can try ebay, or I have one without a
case I no longer need.  You can also use a mk802, or seagate dockstar but
they only have one usb port, they work with a hub.
