I have read that you can install Linux on a Linksys NSLU2
network-attached-storage device. If you were to attach some high capacity
hard drives to the USB2 ports, would it be possible to use this device as a
master backend? As for the tuner cards, put them in another machine and have
this backend wake them up via wake-on-LAN. Store recordings on the USB2
external HDDs attached to this NSLU2 so that they are always available for
remote frontends.

Has anyone tried something like this?

I read that the master backend must have a tuner card; but then in that FAQ
page, it says a tuner is not required in the backend.
