[Gllug] OpenSlug or Unslung

[John Winters]

Thanks to all who reminded me about the name of the LinkSys NSLU2.  I
now have one sitting on the desk in front of me, along with a 250G USB2
HDD.

My intention is to try to set it up as an always-on server, providing
the minimal services that I want to be always available to a maximum of
6 client PCs.  Typically only 2 or 3 tend to be in use at any given
time.

The services which I want are:

	DNS server
	DHCP server
	NIS server
	Mail server
	NFS server
	Samba server

I've been ploughing my way through the various (rather confused)
OpenSlug and Unslung pages trying to decide which way to go but it isn't
clear.  Is there anyone here with experience of either of these
environments who could offer advice on the choice?

Currently I incline towards Big Endian Debian using OpenSlug as a boot
loader.  Comments?

TIA,
John
