+All in all the state of file sharing is really sad despite the fact that

+all should be fine.
+
+Main Purpose
+------------
+
+The basic idea is to have an USB-Stick which contains a minimal OS specifically
+intended for creating a file sharing host. The OS may have minimal impact on
+the disks attached to the host and mount all the disks or raid arrays previously 
+created and prepared. It should just export with one of the many possible file
+sharing methods. Besides legacy FTP we want to deploy 'cool' file sharing
+methods, such as `Advanced Direct Connect`_.
+
+In addition to that we want a command and control channel, as well as a simple
+means of searching through the storage provided by the hosts. On top of
+everything the nodes should create statistics of how awesome they are at
+sharing all these data.
