With NSLU2 there are many ways to get more functionality but I believe
UnSlung, SlugOS and Debian are the main platforms.

There is nothing "slim" about slimserver or Squeezecenter - the player
is "slim". The player (i.e. Squeezebox) has very minimal intelligence
and all the work is done by the server so with each version the server
has got bigger.  The version of Squeezecenter that runs on NSLU2 will
be exactly the same as that which runs on PC.

I think in the long run an old PC would be better as NSLU2 is seriously
underpowered and short on memory for Squeezecenter.
