Debian NAS project turns to SheevaPlug

By Eric Brown

“The free guides cover a number of topics about running Debian
Linux with the much-hacked, Linux-ready Cisco/Linksys NSLU2
(pictured at right) router and network-attached storage (NAS)
platform. Topics are said to include:

* Troubleshooting: common problems and their solutions
* Internals about the boot process of Debian on the NSLU2
* Modifying a NSLU2 firmware image
* Cloning a NSLU2
* Migration guide: How to move your Debian installation from your
NSLU2 to a SheevaPlug

“I believe my NSLU2 web page now covers everything Debian users
need to know about the NSLU2,” reports former Debian project leader
Michlmayr on his Cyrius.com site where he has posted documentation
for Debian porting projects in partnership with the NSLU2-Linux
project. “While I’ll continue to maintain and update this
information, I don’t expect to make major additions. Instead, I’ll
focus my attention on the SheevaPlug (a great replacement for the
NSLU2) and other devices, such as NAS devices from QNAP.”
