The Touch's OS is Linux, but it certainly is not "a regular Linux
distribution." It is customized for the Touch's limited hardware and
specialized purpose of serving music. I haven't followed the details
closely, but I am pretty sure you would first have to install (and
possibly build) the client software for accessing the network drive
onto the Touch. Then you would need to configure it so that the music
library's SQL database is stored on an SD card or USB drive inserted in
the Touch, because you definitely don't want all the traffic to/from the
db going over the network for performance reasons.

Search these forums and you will find at least one example of someone
who managed to mount an external drive on TinySBS via NFS. As I recall
it wasn't easy (your main question), and it wasn't clear that
performance was satisfactory.
