"If there is a defining feature in Apple's Leopard, it's Time Machine. As cool as it may be, the fact is that we, as Linux users, are obviously not going to see much benefit from this is pitiful. So it's a good thing that open source developers have taken it upon themselves to create something similar, be it not a 'pretty' alternative."

Exactly. I have read a lot about ZFS and got pretty excited about it since I have been a victim of bit rot.
I rotate my machines out. My best machine is used as my main desktop machine, usually dual boot between Linux and Windows (for games). My second best machine is used as my file server, and the others just sit there and I use them for spare parts diagnosing problems with my friend's computers.
The requirements for ZFS are nuts, my fastest machine right now is only a P4 3GHz HT, not 64 bit and only has 1Gb of memory. I don't need super high performance from my fileserver so I could probably try it but this machine is also used for MythTV. If I could run ZFS under Linux I'd give it a try but I don't think I can run MythTV under Solaris or FreeBSD.
