“After I hooked up an external drive, connected to it with my
web browser and configured it using the web interface, the NSLU2
was serving files on my home network in no time. Despite Linksys’
documentation to the contrary, using it with MacOS X and Linux was
no problem, since both operating systems support the Microsoft SMB
file server protocol used by the box. Installation complete, right?
Wrong. I was just getting started.“As nice as this tiny silent unit was, I couldn’t leave
well-enough alone. I knew it had more potential since internally
the little box ran Linux. With dual USB 2.0 ports and a 10/100
Ethernet connection, this little box has many possibilities. How
about NFS along with SMB ? Or maybe a print server to go with the
file storage…?”
