Perhaps. The main problem with the slug (AKA NSLU2) is that it is
relatively slow, as is its access to attached USB hard drives.

If you wanted to serve out or in multiple streams of HD to a network you
would almost certainly be in trouble. For a single stream of SD, or
perhaps even 2, it might be OK.
