Especially, the community rules and and the (extensive) set of warnings should be read and understood before descending into countless Howto’s. I’m grateful to all folks who contributed with all the information - following the steps and Howto’s I unslung my NSLU2 with Unslung-6.8-beta-firmware without problems. I have only experienced two minor issues and would like to mention them here just in case some NSLU2 beginner (like myself) comes across the same.

The installation went fine, I customized the system to my liking, using the default GUI. After a week, however, I could not initialize an X session anymore. And the problem occurred straight after I downloaded the package updates as the system prompted me to do.

I usually let the the pup (Package Updater) to update all packages and it usually works just fine. This time, Package Updater kept on displaying the “Error resolving dependencies” message.

I usually perform a clean install when updating Linux at home, this time however, I decided to let Anaconda (the Fedora installer) to do the job. I was very pleased with the overall result with one exception: the installer forced me to manually modify my /etc/fstab, refusing to continue otherwise.

Later on, when the second album came out, I already took a break from work to get the album right at the release date. Their magical, introspective yet sunny and playful music was sending shivers down my spine then and it still does now. The last weekend they showed up in Amsterdam for the very first time and I was lucky to be there: Husky Rescue.

I was really looking forward to this one: Chris Cornell performing in Melkweg, Amsterdam. When Audioslave failed to support their third album “Revelations” and when Chris Cornell subsequently left the band earlier this year, I was wondering when will I see Cornell performing again. Luckily, the fans and myself didn’t have to wait for too long. A few days before Cornell’s second solo album “Carry On” hit the shops, we had the man back on the stage. And he returned in style!
