**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 21 02:59:57 2011 Mar 21 19:46:17 Howdy. Is there any vendor which sells eSATA-equipped plugs in the US? Mar 21 19:47:09 My Sheeva is working great as a Asterisk+Tor+MPD+icecast box, but I need another to handle Apache2+PHP+Drupal. Mar 21 19:47:10 the guruplug and dreamplug have esata on them Mar 21 19:47:23 And have some more storage. Mar 21 19:47:37 Tootoot222: Ah, I was a bit burned (heh) by the Guruplug. Mar 21 19:47:46 lol Mar 21 19:48:04 they actuall discontiued selling guruplug+ in individual units Mar 21 19:48:08 they only sell in batches of 100+ Mar 21 19:48:11 Tootoot222: I know the GlobalScale makes both devices, but it seems the Sheeva was better designed? Mar 21 19:48:38 Tootoot222: Wow. Who is buying them in such large quantities? Mar 21 19:48:39 the sheevaplug had problems too, just none so bad as the guruplug melting down Mar 21 19:49:03 NightMonkey: probably nobody; on the website they say that they sold every last one of the guruplug+'s, and will only make more for large orders Mar 21 19:49:19 Tootoot222: Ah, I see. Neat trick. Mar 21 19:49:36 anyway the dreamplug appears to be much more stable than the guruplug Mar 21 19:49:42 i haven't heard of any issues with it yet Mar 21 19:49:43 Has the Dreamplug started shipping? Mar 21 19:49:46 yes Mar 21 19:49:55 several people (including ones in this channel) have gotten theirs Mar 21 19:51:32 Tootoot222: Thanks for the info! :) Mar 21 19:54:21 Anyone have Dreamplug shipping issues with GlobalScale? Mar 21 19:55:19 dmb said he got his shipping number but no progress on shipping for several days (a week?) Mar 21 19:55:29 and then it finally started and arrived Mar 22 00:56:06 NightMonkey: when did you order? Mar 22 01:34:42 dmb: Oh, I haven't. I was just pinging to see if GS is giving customers grief. :) Mar 22 02:16:41 no, not this time Mar 22 02:16:53 bootloader does have a date of march1st Mar 22 02:17:10 and they promised they would ship it in February :) Mar 22 02:42:11 i wonder if i can install real debian on my dreamplug Mar 22 02:42:15 like i would for guruplug **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Mar 22 02:59:57 2011
