Looks good. I wonder what the community will make this one do? If only they had a linux brand mark on the front 'Powered By The Penguin' perhaps. Something like what Cyclades do on their gear. Might raise even more awareness of OSS and it's ubiquity.
Stuart >From the article: Fans of hacking Linksys' Open Source based WRT54G router will be happy to know that the company has presented you with another opportunity in the NSL. If you browse the included CD, you'll find a folder that contains original source for the SnapGear Embedded Linux that runs the NSL, plus source files for the various modified Linux modules used in the product. Just as Linksys' venerable BEFSR41 "Linky" router marked the start of easy, affordable Internet sharing for the masses, I predict the NSLU2 will do the same for NAS. I haven't been this enthused about a product in a long time, let alone one from the networking equivalent of the Borg. But I have to say that the NSLU2 has restored my faith in Linksys' ability to shake the industry up a bit. Yes, I know rolling your own SAMBA server can be even cheaper if you happen to be handy with Linux, but for about $125 (using your own spare drive and a cheap USB 2.0 enclosure), why not just save yourself some time and keep your blood pressure where it should be?
