Just to re-iterate - I'm trying to push rehashed Linux PC's to the 
unsuspecting public and wondering if Linux can easily be backed up to these 
hosted storage areas without having to have some crappy proprietary software 
to get started. I know a lot of ISP's have to be kick started in Windows but 
then run fine in Linux but thats no good for me trying to throw machines out 
the door at people
