My second slug finally arrived yesterday from Bermuda. I purchased it off Ebay for $60 USD, saving me about $39 CDN from purchasing it brand-new. I flashed the Unslung 5.5 beta firmware onto it, followed by a simple 5-minute overclock by removing a resistor on the mainboard.
MySQL 4.11 has been relocated to the second turbo slug to free up some RAM on the main slug. If this blog seems slower to load — the extra overhead imposed by the main slug accessing the second slug is to blame 😛
I just purchased TwonkyMedia 2.9.1 ($22 CDN) so that I can stream my music and music video collection to my other systems. Since the second turbo slug is just running MySQL 4.11, OpenSSH and Samba, I think I’ll be able to squeeze a few more CPU cycles out of it to stream some music
