I've had a Linksys NSLU2 for about 2 years now. Have of that time, it's been sitting in a closet unused and unappreciated. I gathered my courage and dove head-first into the "SLUG" hacking community.
First stop, replace the stock firmware with uNSLUng 6.10 Beta. Great instructions at http://www.nslu2-linux.org
I originally wanted to get a simple web server running on it to host photos for family/friends. Following this article: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RunGalleryOnApache
The install went as planned, but I ran into a brick wall when trying to set permissions. Boo. I kind of gave up on that part for now and decided to try running an iTunes server to feed my Mac Mini and my modified Xbox running the latest T3CH build of XBMC. I had a 40GB 2.5" hard drive left over from my 12" powerbook upgrade. Stuffed that in a external USB enclousure and installed mt-daapd.
So far, so good. I'm still VERY new to this type of hacking. Using Terminal, I can telnet into the SLUG and install "ipkg" packages. It's all very exciting and a great learning experience for me.
