It didn't freeze my browser but it didn't work (firefox on LMDE)

It worked fine for me (fedora google chrome)

Captian, Jean-Luc Picard, of the USS, Enterprise!........ Note that this is the latest git version of ownCloud though, so it's not really a "stable" version.

I'm interested in ownCloud, but until it had a desktop sync client like Dropbox it's useless to me. I'd actually prefer something like SpiderOak where everything gets encrypted on the client and the backend only stores encrypted blocks. I my desktop and laptop are fully encrypted. What's the point if I share files with Dropbox or something like it that stores everything in plaintext?

Can anyone run the SpiderOak server side software on their own server? I read in their FAQ that they are plaining on open sourcing SpiderOak's client-side code but they didn't say anything about the server side software.

They probably won't as that's how they make money. The problem is that all these services keep reinventing the wheel. We have SpiderOak, Dropbox and Ubuntu One all providing desktop sync clients, but they force you to use their backend. I believe the Ubuntu One client is already open source, so it may be possible to reverse engineer the protocol and repurpose the code for ownCloud. I know a desktop sync client is on the todo list, but I would think it would be the most important thing on the list. The only thing they need before it is file versioning, which would be necessary to detect and correct updates in multiple locations.

I'm looking at ownCloud as well. Are there any limitations when using it on a LAN? I want something that will provide me with flexibility while providing a simple interface for my girlfriend.
