I got charged import duty of about £10 and there was a FedEx administration charge on top of that. I got the invoice last week, well after the Sheevaplug had been delivered. It runs Ubuntu 9.04 as you say, but only has a root account by default. It seems to be pretty easy to install other distros on - for instance Fedora have an ARM port that should go on easily. My plan is to use it to replace my main server. I only use it for file-sharing (NFS and samba) and as a print server. -- Graeme Hilton -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
