As Thomas has posted, the NSLU formats the USB drive as ext2, but that does
not mean you are committed to Linux. Google "ext2IFS" for an installable
Windows driver (freeware) to enable direct access to the NSLU drives from
Windows, if that is important to you. And put me down for another of your
Eu19.90 specials from Leuven, I like them so much I'm up for another :-)

I just picked up one of those Linksys NAS boxes, wrongly labelled (I think),
new, for 19.90euro. A piece of cake to set up (plugged into back of wifi
router) but it warns that the attached USB drive will be reformatted in a
way that it can no longer be used as a regular USB drive. ?
I don't understand what it did when it reformatted, but it works ok, and is
a useful addition to the wifi house. I've got mine and my wife's PCs
backing up 'My Pictures' to it (as a second backup to the already attached
USB drives) and I've got a laptop downstairs with the screensaver randomly
displaying photos from that drive.
According to the sales bumf (but I haven't read the user manual on the CD
yet) you can make it internet accessible too...
Recommended at 19.90 :-)
