<div>I've got an NSLU2 (aka slug) - the server was cheaper than the attached 320Gb usb disk. I didn't like the built-in firmware and installed Debian - it runs as a backup server actively pulling data. It is connected to my Linux boxes by NFS and my Windows ones by CIFS and is very stable. See
<a href="http://www.nslu2-linux.org/">http://www.nslu2-linux.org/</a>. Caveat - I don't use it for mythtv storage (i've got enough local disk) YMMV.</div>
