It may be that JFS is already included if they didn't strip down the 
kernel config.

What will you do with selinux?  I've never thought it was useful enough 
to deal with the complexity.

Sure.  Things I would like to run on a low power, quiet server are imap 
and TWiki.

I have an old alpha running TWiki now but it is painfully slow for that 
(handles mail and static web pages fine) and doesn't have the disk space 
for imap mail storage.

I have a newer machine in the works but it is still fairly loud (disk) 
and uses more power than NSLU2.

So I'm interested to hear about whatever performance testing you do.
