I found this free NAS software on the 123macmini.com forum. It is appropriately called FreeNAS. The description on their site says:
FreeNAS is a free NAS (Network-Attached Storage) server, supporting: CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, AFP, RSYNC, iSCSI protocols, S.M.A.R.T., local user authentication, Software RAID (0,1,5) with a Full WEB configuration interface. FreeNAS takes less than 32MB once installed on Compact Flash, hard drive or USB key.
Check it out and let me know what you think. www.freenas.org

I have used this before. It's super easy to setup and works pretty well. I wouldn't count on software RAID for anything buy frustration, so an internal hardware RAID or external RAID box is still the best way to go for disk reliability.
