Summary :: Building a cheap and very compact Linux NAS appliance

Abstract

      Hacking the Western Digital Mybook II to transform this elegant
external hard drive into a bare-bones, extremely flexible hardware
platform, in a revival of what we did with the Linksys WRT54G a few
years ago. Intermediate system skills (particularly Perl and Shell)
recommended, along with imagination and the desire to have fun!

In addition, Brian DeLacey will provide just a brief neutral
introduction to the SheevaPlug, as a transition/connection to the next
meeting where it will be discussed in more depth.

Also note that the next Linux Installfest will be on Saturday, May 30th. =

I'll post an announcement later this week.

For further information and directions please consult the BLU Web site

Please note that there is usually plenty of free parking in the E-51
parking lot at 2 Amherst St, or on Amherst St.

We will adjourn to the Cambridge Brewery for our after meeting meeting.
