There is a cornucopia of hacks documented, the core idea being to enable the
NSLU2 as a Linux box. Physically, a very small box, drawing minimal power,
but flexible and capable for sure. Can't say that ICE is covered, but
plenty of experience is documented here:

Oh, and to be sure we keep vaguely on-topic, there are users who have turned
NSLU2 into media-servers for digital image files.

Thanks Piers for posting the link to the review of the NSLU2. A coworker was
telling me how these were being bought and hacked for different uses ...
remote camera control, weather stations, etc. He lost me though when he said
he put one in his car so that he could use his laptop to control his stereo
when his wife is driving (???).

In general terms, I agree with you, Chuck.
In specific terms, the I find the Linksys NSLU2 is well worth a look at
USD80 here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124036
