I guess you've been pretty fortunate. I don't think I've ever bought a Linux device - IP cameras, routers, video streaming boxes - that came with factory firmware that provided any sort of shell access. (All but the IP cameras got 3rd party firmware loaded onto them, which did provide shell access. I'm still waiting for the 3rd party firmware movement to develop for IP cameras.) Android devices, where (non-root) shell access is as easy as installing an app, is probably the closest thing I've experienced. Of course the situation is changing. You can buy routers that come with open source firmware now. More Kickstarter projects and devices coming out of the maker movement acknowledge that the buyer might want to tinker, and facilitate shell access. -Tom -- Tom Metro The Perl Shop, Newton, MA, USA "Predictable On-demand Perl Consulting." http://www.theperlshop.com/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
