How Pogoplug Works
,----[ Quote ]
| Om: Can you share some details?
|
| Dietrich: Since we are so familiar with Linux’s kernel and networking stack,
| we rely on very little other software than the Linux kernel and the C
| library. Although the hardware will run the full version of Ubuntu for ARM
| (and some of our users are running it on their Pogoplugs), we took the
| approach of owning the majority of the feature stack ourselves so we could
| produce a good user experience that was fully integrated. We believe that
| seamless end user integration and location independence is absolutely
| critical to bringing the complexity of networking devices mainstream.

A Marvel of a Marvell

| Now - there is no keyboard or mouse input, nor is there a video display
| output - so what good is it you may ask??? The system is designed to run
| Linux and you access the system using a terminal program by connecting a USB
| cable (supplied) to the Plug Computer and a PC which is where the terminal
| program resides. This is CLI (command line interface) stuff and anyone
| familiar with Linux or Unix is familiar with this interface. Not only is it
| designed to run linux it also comes with a CD which contains the
| documentation on the system as well as a development system for use in both
| Windows and Linux - this allows you to build (actually rebuild) the system
| with the applications you want on the machine. Given you have 512-megs of
| Flash you can pack a great deal into this small machine! Heck - you could
| even install Astrisk (a software PBX system) on this machine and use it for
| VOIP phones - of course you would need to find a USB interface that will work
| with telephone lines if you want to use the PBX with normal phone lines but
| just the fact you can run a VOIP system on this machine is impressive in and
| of itself!
