It's pretty easy to get Debian up and running on the Pogoplug. Check out Jeff Doozan's tutorials http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/ and forums for more info http://forum.doozan.com/ I have a couple of Dockstars running Debian Squeeze (from a USB drive) and have been using them as 24/7 servers. I've also been using the Dockstar as a platform for my PirateBox project. I've documented some of this work on my wiki: http://wiki.daviddarts.com/Debian_on_the_Seagate_Dockstar http://wiki.daviddarts.com/Debian_on_the_Seagate_Dockstar_Post-Installation http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox Best, David -- > > > _______________________________________________ > Freedombox-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss > _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
