I think you are over-estimating the resources on the NSLU2.  For one,
although it's processor is spec'd at 266MHz, it's under-clocked at 1/2 that
speed - 133MHz.  (There's a hack to 'fix' that, which I've done, but many
may be afraid to do such a hack.)  Then there's memory - only 32MB, etc.
Memory is pretty full already.

You'd have a better chance of running a backend successfully on an iPhone.
;-)

I haven't had my NSLU2 running for a couple of years now.  I should start
using it again, or put it up on fleabay assuming it still works alright. ;-)
