It might be more of what you're looking for as a "server". The WRT is primarily a wireless/routing device. Casey points out that there is little memory onboard, but even beyond that, there is really no way to expand other than adding more network devices (no USB). If you had a 1.0 WRT, you could remove the radio and use the minipci to do some interesting things, but that option is gone in the newer models. I think "a mini-server of ones choice" maybe needs a little more clarification. It's already set up if all you're looking for is a webserver :) >I would be very interested in seeing a wireless print server reflashed >to drive various parallel port I/O pins or perhaps drive an interesting >USB device.
