Hi,
I'm about to try the GNU/Linux-based Linksys NSLU2 network "server"
device with a USB2 attached hard drive as a standalone SlimServer host.
I've read the HowTo etc and it all looks pretty simple, I'm just waiting
for the bits to arrive from Amazon.
In the meantime, does anyone have any stories about their experiences
with this solution? I've read elsewhere of successful use but recent
threads in this forum regarding performance of the newer SlimServer
builds give me some cause for concern given the specs of the NSLU2 i.e.
133MHz Intel IXP420 processor with 32MB RAM - something of a step down
from my current platform of OS X with 1GHz G4 and 1GHz RAM.
Anyone tried this?
I have the NSLU2 running SlimServer to my Slimp3. What can I say,
installation was a bit difficult for me not being that literate in Linux
and so on, but I reckon that was due to some sloppy reading of the
manual on my part. Now its running, but browsing the web interface and
on the SlimServer is a bit slow. However, I have not had any problems
with skipping and I have to say that it works pretty well.
I have, however, been considering downgrading SlimServer to some of the
5.x-version - so any thoughts in that regard is much appreciated.
The upside for me is that I have gained a cheap network storage solution
that doubles as SlimServer and gotten rid of all the noise that my
previous three servers produced and furthermore saved a few SEK on my
electricity bill.
So - I am satisfied, but having said that - I am not a power user in any
way.
