With the sudden website move out of the way and only as damaged as expected (there fill be the odd bad link for a while, mostly older stuff but if you see something please point it out to me), I turned my attention to the Linksys NSLU2 I acquired at LinuxWorld this year. The only real difference between this box what anyone else would start with is that this was running OpenWRT. I used this for a year or so on a different device and I have to say its a *whole* lotta fun.
In this story I will show you how I converted a mild-mannered Linksys NSLU2 into an RTorrent Appliance. I can park this on a bookshelf someplace and anytime from anywhere I can scp a torrent file to that machine which will then download the requested file to the attached storage. In this case I installed Debian Etc to a 2G USB key, then plugged in the external storage, a Seagate 200G external drive.
