i have one. Nice piece of HW but a bit slow. To have protected drives, the usb drives must be formated ext2.

Honestly, I'd go with a Beagle Board or Overo over the NSLU2 these days.

I have two of the NSLUs from eBay myself, but I believe that they are discontinued now 
I currently run webcams on both of them, as described in these articles (though I am only doing the 'simple' case):

I use mine as my home Asterisk (VoIP) server and as a Samba Fileserver.

Mine is used as video streamer for my HTPC, music streaming for my 770, ftp server, and controls all my X-10 modules in the house through cron jobs. I've got several NSLU2 running with linux. For some reason the older ones came with the CPU clocked down to 166MHz, but it's really easy to move the CPU back to 266MHz. They are a great little workhorse for a bunch of apps and can be picked up on ebay for about $40 including shipping!

While I don't have a NSLU2, I think they are great additions to your home network. I have a Synology DS-106j and it uses the same optware packages as the Linksys slug. I use it as a Asterisk server, data backup, and webserver. For $40 though, the NSLU2 sounds like a deal.

However the little gadget has attracted the hacker crowd who have repurposed it into a small, very low power, Linux machine. If you're bored with the Nokia ITs hacking around with this could keep you entertained for days and weeks. I use it as a low power, always-on proxy server, and keep exploring other uses for it.
