![]() It was also possible to run Debian, Gentoo, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Ubuntu on the device. Once this had been done, a wide range of additional packages were available to be installed from an Internet repository. Once installed, the operating system had to be moved to an attached hard disk due to the lack of space available on the flash memory. SlugOS/BE allowed users to re-flash the device with a minimal Linux system including an SSH server to allow remote access. The other was SlugOS/BE (formerly OpenSlug), which was based on the OpenEmbedded framework. Optware packages were available to expand functionality. There were two main replacement firmware images available for the device: the first is Unslung which was based on the official Linksys firmware with some improvements and features added. ![]() However OpenWrt claims to still be working to maintain support for the device. Most of the alternative firmware projects are no longer functional. Due to the availability of source code, the NSLU2's use of well-documented commodity components and its relatively low price, there are several community projects centered around it, including hardware modifications, alternative firmware images, and alternative operating systems with varying degrees of reconfiguration. Linksys was required to release their source code as per the terms of the GNU General Public License. Stock, the device runs a customised version of Linux. ![]() The NSLU2 is fanless, making it completely silent. It also has a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet network connection. The device includes 32 MB of SDRAM, and 8 MB of flash memory. May 2006) are clocked at the rated speed of 266 MHz. In models manufactured prior to around April 2006, Linksys had underclocked the processor to 133 MHz, though a simple hardware modification to remove this restriction is possible. The device has two USB 2.0 ports for connecting hard disks and uses an ARM-compatible Intel XScale IXP420 CPU. The device has a web interface from which the various advanced features can be configured, including user and group permissions and networking options. The device runs a modified version of Linux and by default, formats hard disks with the ext3 filesystem, but a firmware upgrade from Linksys adds the ability to use NTFS and FAT32 formatted drives with the device for better Windows compatibility. It was superseded mainly by the NAS200 (enclosure type storage link) and in another sense by the WRT600N and WRT300N/350N which both combine a Wi-Fi router with a storage link. It makes USB flash memory and hard disks accessible over a network using the SMB protocol (also known as Windows file sharing or CIFS). Having a plan is always good.The NSLU2 (Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives) is a network-attached storage (NAS) device made by Linksys introduced in 2004 and discontinued in 2008. So I started googling people who wanted to create games to teach and learn maths. I didnt know which game, or with whom I could make this game. So I had an idea, I wanted to make a game to learn math. Keith Devlin wrote a book about it, and even if I hadnt read his book when i conceived the game, most part of the reasons why I developed a game are in his book. Videogames are the future of learning for sure. And we have no TV.īut to learn faster, it is really difficult to say that games cant help. I have kids but they are not allowed to game. To tell the whole truth, I am not a gamer at all. ![]() Not only my own practice, I was thinking of something more scalable.Īnd after some time, I couldn´t see any other way to learn faster than to use videogames. Between surfing and teaching, I spent time figuring out how to improve mathematics teaching and learning. One year ago, I was a high school teacher in Gran Canaria. No idea whether Dragon Box will be a success in the rest of the world, but one thing is sure, lots of people love the game. We will launch soon in France, Sweden and US Saturday 12th of may 2012, Dragon Box is ranked top grossing app in all categories in Norway Saturday 12th of may 2012, we launch in Norway a game called Dragon Box to learn basic algebra in one hour. ![]()
