[clue-tech] What do Linux Folks think of the Shuttle ?

[Brian Gibson]

A friend got one of the first or second generation ones way back when.  I thought it was noisy.  If you want a router I recommend just getting an actual router.  I recommend a router compatible with either OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org/), DD-WRT (http://www.dd-wrt.com/), or Tomato (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato).
