The Linksys NSLU2 , a.k.a. the "Slug", is a small low cost network storage device from Linksys. Its main purpose is to serve as a network file server: on one side of the Slug, you connect one of two USB hard disks, on the other side your wired computer network at home or a small office. The disks can then be made available to that network, to computers running Linux, Mac OS or Microsoft Windows (and probably quite a few stranger platforms too).

The Slug can be flashed with a new firmware to make it what it essentially is: a small Linux computer. Packages from the NSLU2 project have also been ported to [[OpenWrt]] and installed on {{tag|embedded Linux}} routers.

And from there, the sky seems to be the limit! You can use the Slug as a rather advanced backup station, it can be a web server (with PHP and even a database if you want), it can be a network monitor, it can run as a jukebox or a UPnP media server, and quite a lot of other applications.


wiki_language =            English                    |
In all fairness, it must be said that the Slug cannot run all those applications at once. After all, it is a small Linux computer. But it's a heck of a lot more than you might have imagined to get for well under a hundred bucks.
