Many, many thanks Marc for your excellent article on the Linkstation. Your timing was great as I was looking around for a network drive at the time and the possibility of also running SlimServer inspired me to get hold of a Linkstation as soon as I could. I have it now, and not being a Linux expert (or a Linux anything in fact) I have been following your instructions to the letter. Unfortunately my password file doesn't look like your password file and doesn't show a password at all for root. (root:/bin/bash is all that is shown for the first line - which is also partially overwritten by vi information on my screen). I think I could probably safely add the password in the format indicated but I thought I should check back with you first. By the way my Linkstation is running firmware version 1.44.
Regards
Chris

Subject: [slim] New How-To: Installing SlimServer on LinkStation
Hi,
I am writing to announce a new article I wrote detailing how to install SlimServer on the LinkStation network storage product by Buffalo. The article goes into a lot of detail, including background on the Linux commands required for the installation (which should be helpful to people who are not already familiar with Linux). If you are interested, you can find the article at the following URL:
