I agree, even after all the hackery, throughput on the LinkSys device is very slow. I had used the NSLU2 in my home network for over a year, but the limited throughput became a serious bottleneck when I began storing files larger than 10MB (Oggs, MPEGs etc.) in size... I ended up eBay-ing the thing, and replaced it with a Shuttle Box (in my case a cheapo SK43G, Sempron 2400+, 512MB RAM, a LinkSys GigE network card, and a DVD-ROM, no internal hard drive), booted up using a modified version of a live distro called Slax (see
http://www.slax.org), and external SATA drives (shared using SAMBA for Windows access). So far, this has worked like a charm..

I still can't belive you're serios. The NSLU2 (even when overclocked)
can only server like 5MB/s. Any 300$ PC can do better. It needs more
power but you can run any OS you want.
(Still unslugh is fabulouse).
