Sorry, text and sarcasm don't always play nicely. I've had sheevaplugs and before that NSLU2s, and a couple of more exotic ARM boards too.
I was more just wondering why this was written at all, because 'how to plug in a USB enclosure' and 'basic samba config' are topics that are so well covered already that it seems odd anyone would write more about them. Adding 'on the Raspberry Pi' seems to be enough for people to consider it novel these days, and I start to wonder if the 'on the Raspberry Pi' crowd realize that the Pi really is just another linux computer.
Note that I'm not saying this is a bad little tutorial.
