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
http://www.blu.org
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.
