You can mount the drives like a network drive and use your Linux box to run the commands on.
I think I'd be better off just getting a cheap 1U server for under $100 and putting a few hard drives in it than going that route then.

Geeks.com has a few 2.4Ghz 1U servers with 80GB hard drives for under $100, I think I'm gonna pick up 1 or 2 of them, then buy a bunch of hard drives to fill them up. I just need a good rack.
