Re: Slug

[Wayne <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiya Mark...
How do you find the 'Slugs' for speed? Have thought about getting the
EFG120's ( http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=555&scid=43
)  (they have the built in HD's) Dont think anyone has 'hacked' them yet
in the same way as the slugs.

If anything I would use 'it' for would be as a media store (MP3's (have
a Slimp3) - Movies etc) - so getting the slimserver software on there is
possible I believe.

Cheers
Wayne.
