Hello Antonis,
Because of similar problems I am now working with a Seagate FreeAgent DockStar. It has 128 MB RAM and 1,2 GHz CPU speed.
Actual Debian Squeeze can be used (Marvell Kirkwood CPU, ARM little endian), and kernel compilation on the DockStar itself is possible.
Regards, Rudolf

This is not provided from optware but someone (Brian I think) used to post a .ipk in the files section of the NSLU2-general group. I accidentaly upgraded optware and I had to downgrade rtorrent in order to make it work. This messed up my session files making the output of rtorrent not making any sense.
