I have just purchased 2 of these units: http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?PageTag=&page=file&memx_menu=EmbedProductDetail.php&DisplayProductID=5072&SID=
I found the web interface to be little clunky and awkward. A quick little nmap -O on the box confirmed my suspicion that these things run linux, and in my subsequent searching for how to hack the box to perhaps improve it, I came across this gem of a site:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/To make a long story short, you can not only customize the existing firmware, you can also load an entirely different firmware that allows you install one of a couple full distros (I have one of the boxes running an embedded version of Debian).
Instead of being merely an appliance, these things are a fully functional computer that can be adapted to just about any purpose.
I am not going to get much sleep this weekend, I need to rebuild my jinzora box, on something that fits in to my pocket
Have fun and play safe :) --
