I finally got my guruplug server plus. To make a long story short, it's slower than my ALIX (Geode LX 500 MHz), and heats so much that people are reporting failures after 3 months, and I found that it was difficult to unplug an RJ45 cable without being burnt by the metal parts, really ! Two and half internal wires managed to break just by moving their plug around. It's a massive crap which I would never let run when I'm not here to monitor it ! For more information, I've put photos here : http://1wt.eu/articles/guruplug-slow-heater/ Regards, Willy
