I've never kegged before, so I wouldn't be the best source of advice, but I have looked into it. That little keg will hold about a gallon, I think, so you would need several of them.
Generally most people use Cornelius kegs (also called "Corny Kegs") which hold about 5 gallons. There is a lot involved in kegging (plumbing and whatnot), but the advantage is you can do forced carbonation which eliminates the need for priming. Most Corny Keg kits start around $150-$200 dollars, though, so it's not exactly cost effective up front and you need to find a place that will fill your CO2 tank. You would also need a "kegerator" (a modified refrigerator) to keep the kegs at the proper temperature. That's mostly why I haven't done it yet. That and I like making beer more than drinking it so I would end up with a drive-through's worth in my basement.
