Thought I'd add my comments here - as running Slimserver on the NSLU2
was one of my original objectives when I bought my (first) NSLU2.
I started with Slimserver 6.0 and Unslung 3.x - but there were too many
pre-requisites to get built by hand for the time I had available ... so
I parked it.
Things moved on though.
I filled the disks attached to the NSLU2 - so bought another one and
installed latest Unslung (5.x). Things had moved on and there were more
packages that were pre-built plus 6.1.1 was available ... and following
the cookbook linked to above made it really easy.
So - now serving 2 SB2 (synced) with selections from 700+ albums, 7000+
songs and 300+ artists.
The menus are slightly slower than the PC that I was using - but ..
entirely usable.
(If I copy a lot of files to the NAS while it is playing there are
noticiable gaps when playing back music)

I see that there is a mechanical hack for the NSLU2 (remove a resistor)
that makes it run twice as fast. I might give it a try if I find that
installing more things on it makes it too unresponsive.
