Getting the most from your Linksys NSLU2

What interesting uses have you come up with for your Slug? Share your favourite uses in the comments.

Hmm, it seems there’s an ARM port of Mono which runs on the NSLU2 - sounds intruiging. Now all I need to do is get my borked slug back to a working state again (or buy a Nokia 800 tablet

I see that Rod Whitby - the founder of the NSLU2-Linux project - also has an interest in OpenMoko, the Open Source mobile phone platform. As a result, it seems he has plans to create an NSLU2 MokoSlug firmware distribution tailored towards OpenMoko developers.

I am re-installing Debian on my slug (more of which later hopefully) and came across a few other slug-related sites on my travels…

• The Making of a Network
• NSLU2 Offsite Backup Project
• Debian Etch on an NSLU2
• Chimeric’s Debian on NSLU2
• Jaakko Ala-Paavola’s NSLU2 Debian Installation

Vic (I’m not sure what his surname is) has an NSLU2 blog running on an NSLU2.

I see there’s another Slug-powered weather station. This one was developed by some folks at the University of Greenwich School of Engineering.

Head over and read their description of how to make a WeatherSlug

Kes from Inverness seems to have set up his NSLU2 as a One-Wire Weather station on the roof of his house.

Welcome to SlugPowered. Why SlugPowered? Well, this site is all about the Linksys NSLU2 Network-Attached Storage Device (NAS). To fans of this little box of tricks it is affectionately (?) known as a Slug (from NSLU2).

We hope to cover a variety of Slug-related topics so watch this space !
