Great stuff in tiny packages


Linksys has this tiny little NAS like box, which connects to your network as a storage device, the Linksys NSLU2.

Nothing to spectacular, really, but thats before you have a look at RunGalleryOnApache. This guy actually got Gallery running on it. Check out his Gallery install here.

He posted this in the Gallery forums, with the following comment:

Hi, Just finnished installing Gallery on a very tiny server. The webserver is a Linksys NSLU2 (a littlebit bigger as a pack of cigarets, running Apache/PHP from a 1 Gb USB Stick. (but can be run on a USB HDD also) The whole server takes about 13 watt. and the whole system cost me arround 120 Euro. [... edited ...] So this is not so much about a "come and see my Gallery" but more, look how crazy I am, I have installed Linux on my fridge kind of thing.


Now this is pretty spiffy, and it would be nice to have one of these, in combination with my Pretec iDisk Tiny Standard USB2 stick, combined it wouldn't take up much room. The only thing missing is a small antenna for wireless connectivity, and I could put my webserver in my bookshelf!

Anyone feel like donating one of these to me? Come on, you know you want to!
