linuxgeek: [nslu2-linux] I fear for Unslung

Greeting,

Recently I upgraded my NSLU2 to install a WebDAV server. Two things
happened:

1) Perl broke. The built-in "-s" always returns 0 instead of returning
the size of a file. As a result, awstats broke as well.

2) Lighttpd is broken. The server cannot reliably serve a file over
1MB. The file gets truncated at some multiple of 512KB.

In summary, I see all the signs of a dying platform. Please advise on
the best course of action:

- How can I recompile Perl and Lighttpd? What environment is needed?

- Is any of the alternative distributions recomended over Unslung,
namely in terms of being better maintained?

Best regards,
