Hello Gurus,

I have a simple bordering on to daft question.

Which is the best firmware I should use for my Linksys NSLU2?

I have been using SlugOS 5.3 Beta on my slug for last two years. My main usage of it was

1. Media Server(MediaTomb)

2. Torrent Client(Transmission)

3. Home network FileServer(Samba)

4. Gateway to my home network via ssh.

I was happy with what I had. It was my stupidity(let's not go there) that I have to rebuild it. I have two external drive 640GB and 500GB both Seagate.

Now as I am about to rebuild it I wish to know should I use same SlugOSBE or try something new. I also want to use my Slug to monitor my room with WebCam but that is not a must.

Please advice.

Regards,

Mahesh
