I run a SheevaPlug with Gentoo installed. I use 'Screen' to talk to the SheevaPlug via its serial USB connection: # screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 This gets me to a login screen on the SheevaPlug. The serial USB connection is only used for installation and if the network connection to the SheevaPlug is unavailable for any reason. Screen should get a medal. -- Regards, Gregory.
