[LUG] NSLU2 capabilities?

 

Hi all,

I am seriously considering the NSLU2, or something eerily similar.
Basically any low power consumption box that does NAS and runs Linux
that is (relatively) easily "extend-able" to do other things as well.
Oh, and it shouldn't break the bank.  Hence my interest in the NSLU2.

Anyway I have several questions about it, the most pressing of which is
about its drive capabilities.  The specs say it comes with 2xUSB2 ports
so you can connect 2xUSB2 harddrives to it... what if one were to
attach a powered USB2 hub and several USB2 harddrives via the hub?
Would it be OK with this?  (Personally, I can't see how it couldn't be,
but it's better to check.)

How about being a print server for a USB printer?  Is it happy with
doing this?

Cheers all.
Grant. :)
