Wow, I was just reading about the SheevaPlug this morning. I was thinking about buying one to play with, and perhaps to make a portable LAMP development server (plus, it'd make a cheap little SVN box as well).
- zackattack 17y agoYeah! Wow! That thing is so cool! I dreamed about a device like that years ago. I thought it would be ideal for installing surreptitiously at my school, in order to seed some torrents.
- profquail 17y agoOne of the users on their forum said that if you crack it open, there's still a bunch of empty space. Even though it would raise the cost a little bit, I'd like to see it add wifi, bluetooth, powerline networking (so it could act as a router between powerline and ethernet) and X10/zwave compatibility. Those things wouldn't add more than $20-50, and it would make the SheevaPlug a kind of hacker's Swiss army knife.

- statictype 17y agoYeah, its weird because my SheevaPlug just arrived in the mail 2 days ago and I've been thinking about what to do with it. My original thought was to couple it with my arduino board and see if I can do anything useful with that. On second though, a cheap network storage device and auto-backup system also sounds useful.
