    1. @mk best avoid proprietary NAS devices (Seagate...) where you can't take the disks out and access them from a Linux/BSD box. Better: FreeNAS

      1. @mcscx I have not come across those, but I would not dream of getting a NAS where I cannot use the disks of my choice anyway... Maybe I'll go for a DAS instead (with RAID support) for reliable storage and (later, but soon) get a NAS for backup (not necessarily RAID, but accesible from outside). I'm still toying with options, but energy usage is a BIG factor.

        1. @mk you can take the disks out but Seagate NASes store the files in a nested LVM, maybe encrypted.

        2. @mk you should be able to use VNC + SSH tunnel easily on the Mac, as ssh and vnc clients are already preinstalled. But I've never tried.

          1. @mcscx oh, that's good :) but can you do that without leaving anything on the host machine?

            1. @mk I can't guarantee that. On Windows plink asks whether you want to store sth in registry->always say no to that.

              1. @mk in general if you need to make sure you don't leave _any trace_ on someone's pc you probably must use a live cd

                1. @mk otherwise you may leave subtle traces on the system that can be digged out by foresic analysis

                  1. @mk additionally on someone else's pc there's a possibility of keyloggers and hidden screenshot spyware, maybe without the owner's knowledge
