[ILUG] 500Gb NAS at lidl

[Conor Daly]

I see lidl have a 500Gb NDAS drive for EUR140 on Monday next.
http://www.lidl.ie/ie/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20080818.p.TargaExternalNetworkHDD500GB 

It claims to have an NTFS filesystem already on it.  Interfaces are eSata,
usb2 and ethernet.  Question is, while I presume eSata and USB2 interfaces
will just work, how does the ethernet bit work?  Will it work with an ext?
filesystem instead of NTFS?  How does one go about mounting a NAS
filesystem?  What about in-LAN security?  

As you might guess, I'm pretty much not au fait with all things NAS...
