-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have one with the unslung firmware, which I am building out as the media server (I have a hate on for Apple, so no iTunes, long story but basically I used to be a Mac guy). The other one I loaded the Debian based firmware. The larger number of packages on a full on linux distro with a 2.6 kernel is more my cup of tea. The Linksys web interface is also kind of weak. That and I prefer vim /etc/samba/smb.conf :)
Both have had their warranty seriously voided with a pair of nail clippers (and I thought I had given up on overclocking).
