Nice! At 5W I think I will replace my home firewall (tower) with the GuruPlug Server Plus version (two Ethernet ports). How would one go about installing Linux on one of these devices? I see that it does not have a VGA or serial interface. Is there software the comes with it for a USB terminal interface? Would a USB CD-ROM work with this device, or is a PXE installation going to be needed, or will the OS have to be somehow prewritten to the minisd card??
