Hence my interest in the NSLU2. Does that mean you're going to put debian or unslung or something on instead of the stock firmware? Be aware that the NSLU2 only has 32Megs of ram. (or at least it did a year or 2 ago) I went for the linkstation pro, partly because it has 128Megs ram and partly because it has an internal hd and 2 usb ports. Mine runs bittorrent and the extra ram helps there. it still swaps if i run too many at once. It costs a bit more than a NSLU2 + USB hard drive but I thought (and still think) it was worth it. putting debian on was easy enough. Buffalo also do a thing called the kuro box which is basically a linkstation already open to modding, though at the time I was in the market it wasn't available here. I don't know if it is now. look at http://www.linkstationwiki.net/ if you're interested. plenty of guides to give you an idea of what it can do. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
