That's what I would approach using a well-known *distro* rather than a 
well-known hardware: Hardware tend to go out of business or in other 
ways be hard to get from time to time - and always at the least 
convenient moments, off course.

Well, it sure makes sense to "eat your own dog food" if that is really 
what you want.  But then beware that that's not exactly what you express 
above ;-)


I would suggest to go for 1) first, and let 2) and 3) be optional - 
transfering files over scp usually fine, and most of us should be 
capable of installing and setting up an ftp or nfs server quickly on a 
laptop if need be.

The WiFi setup I suggested includes 5 wired ports for faster transport 
if needed.


Good luck, whatever size challenge you decide to try tackle,
