I know someone who uses such a machine for video streaming. It is fast enough for this unlike the NSLU.
On contraire, mon frère.
I use a NSLU2 for video streaming, amongst other things. I have hooked it up to a WRT54g that serves as a wireless bridge, and thus serves videos in all different flavours to my Pinnacle Showcenter.
Starting from MPEG1 in 320×200 to Xvid and Divx in Full-HD this all works very well.
The bottleneck here is in fact the Showcenter’s network chipset, not the NSLU2. Note that even a full-HD mpeg2 encoded video requires roughly 20-30Mbps. That translates to 2-4Mbyte/sec, which is clearly in the working range for the slug. 😉
