<br>Hi folks,<br>I'm brainstorming a potential project.<br><br>I need a cheap NAS-like hard drive device with wireless and wired ethernet<br>ports that can run some form of Linux (preferably Debian) in current<br>production.<br><br>The idea is to load it (or buy it with) with a 500GB HD. On the device<br>build web interfaces and mirror Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, the Khan<br>Academy videos, the full Ubuntu software repositories, Open Street Map, and<br>various open source textbooks. Ship it to the developing world as a low<br>cost local library that a small school can pop onto their network and use<br>via a web browser.<br><br>Total hardware cost should be under $200.<br><br>The WL-HDD 2.5 circa 2005 is exactly what I want, but it is no longer<br>made. It could run Debian, had wifi and wired ethernet ports, and enclosed<br>a 2.5" HD. http://wlhdd.co.uk/wiki/Guide<br><br>Is there anything equivalent on the market
today?<br><br>Thanks,<br>braddock<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
