OMG!
I bought a refurbished WD Mybook World edition for $65 on Ebay. It works as advertised, of course, but just as advertised is hardly enough. Working just as a dumb file server? No, sir.
I was sad, desperate, and sad again. BUT! I found mybookworld.wikidot.com, and l learned from it that I could install a bunch of software on my Mybook to make it work like a little beastly *nix box.
Sample of mouth watering software on my Mybook? MediaTomb and Transmission
