[LUAU] Anyone use a Linksys NSLU2? USB hard disk drives are FOSS friendly?

[David Kiwerski]

Just a thought...

A friend of mine set up his using a regular computer, 2 250Gb ide drives 
and FreeNAS  (free for the download).   Said it took him about 5 minutes 
to set it up.   That was about 6 months ago - he just uses it as if it 
were another drive.   The computer doesn't have to be very fast 
either.   I believe he said he had a Pentium 750, or something along 
that line.
