No, I wont be using OpenWRT. I have been looking at Unslung 
(http://www.nslu2-linux.org). I have
been looking at unslung because I think it would be a good place to 
start for me since I am a beginner in the
world reflashing of these types of devices and it has httpd as the 
standard package. Hopefully the "pain"
will be minimal.
