Hmmm. I've read a bit about owncloud recently, but not yet tried it. Is it really useful on a local server (in a way that a simple NAS would not be?)
Depends what you're trying to use it for, really. The co-op finds it useful and hosts ownclouds for clients, with clients on Linux and Android as far as I know.
My own practical use has been limited because I'm at the end of one of yon pathetic ADSLs for now. It's like being a storekeeper who isn't able to use the very attractive products much. At least you choose who gets the data and can encrypt it with some backends.
Hope that explains,
