====== Main Page Talk ====== Since regular users can't modify [[:start|Main Page]] then here is the right place where you can point out some [[:start|Main Page]] mistakes or suggestions how to improve it ^_^ ===== Done ===== Would it be possibe to remove the help text for DNS, which in this case i a part of the product name and not Domain Name Server. Also, can we rename the "How-to fun_plug" to something more informative, e.g. "Howto Hack" or something more appropriate. A user entering for the first time will look for "hack" and doesn't have a clue what the fun_plug is, Instead of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/xxx|xxx]]'' use ''[[wp>XXX|XXX]] ---------------------------- Hardware Specifications: i would suggest to show also average values of powerconsumption for this embedded device. thats seems an important infomation for comparison of embedded linux nas-devices (to me). look here: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t155-Power-usage.html i was bored while watching my DNS-323 sit there. So I thought I see how much power it really uses. Pulled these from my UPS monitoring software, seems fairly consistant on a number of runs. This is with two Seagate 320gb drives. off 0 watts (ya think?) Initial boot, pre-disk spinup 16 watts Initial boot disk spinup 63 watts Idle with disk spinning 16 watts Web access 16 watts (no change from idle) reading/writing files 31-39 watts variable printing small files 16 watts (no change from idle) printing large files 31 watts (spool to disk?)

Could someone please update the start page? The spec of v1.08 is as follows: Firmware specs: 1.08, Bootloader: (unknown, how can this be evaluated?
