My main use is like you media streaming and file sharing. I'm thinking about installing the new firmware (V23R63) but my understanding is that if you then move to Unslug (the open implementation from NSLU2-Linux) I will lose FAT32 access because the replacement firmware is currently based on V23R29. There is a chance however: on the firmware notes they state: Firmware Release Notes for NSLU2. ************************************** V2.3R63 (7/06/2005) 1. FAT32/NTFS support on Port 2 and FAT32/EXT3 support on port 1 V23R61 (05/31/05) Change List : 1.

V23R58 (04/13/20005) 1. Remove Media Functions 2. Fix bug that cannot delete groups sometimes. 3. Upgrade samba to be 3.0.11 V23R57 (04/04/20005) 1. Support NTFS 2. Support iTunes, UpnP AV and MP3 BroadCast. 3. Fix bug that cannot copy large zip file into FAT HDD as if from R57 they were incoroporating some kind of UPnP AV server functionality.
