($39.99 direct from Seagate USA, down from $100). It is almost identical to the SheevaPlus (same processor , same speed), but the price is 1/2 to 1/3 of what it would cost you to buy a single SheevaPlug yourself. (including Shipping, Handling and Taxes). Cons: Only 128MB DRAM 256MB Flash (not sure) No SD slot. Some SheevaPlug units come with eSATA port. Almost all units have room for the eSATA connector if you are good with a soldering iron (you also need to add some resistors/capacitors). Pros: Multiple USB ports. Can directly dock a seagate FreeAgent 2.5" Hard Disk. Cheap! Available in israel. It can run both debian and OpenWRT. http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/dockstar-howto.html If you keep the original firmware, the original unit runs the pogoplug software, but the license is only for 1 year. perpetual license is $30 more.
