Feb 08 19:38:22 <areichman> Hello everybody. I just got a pogoplug pro today and noticed that it seems to be unsupported right now but the last news update is a couple of months old. Is there any updated news on how to get a full linux distro installed on one?
Feb 08 19:49:13 <kerio> lol pogoplug ._.
Feb 08 19:49:17 <kerio> how much did it cost?
Feb 08 19:51:42 <areichman> kerio: it was free
Feb 08 19:52:01 <kerio> cool
Feb 08 19:52:49 <areichman> I wasn't going to turn it down but it's a bit disappointing now that it doesn't seem to have an easy way to install arch
Feb 08 19:53:01 <areichman> I was planning on using it as a lamp server (thought I was getting the v2, not the pro)
Feb 08 20:35:08 <cptkrf> Has anyone used the Sheeva with the PL-2303 USB to Serial cable and driver?  Dont see why it wouldnt work, but I have no experience with a plug computer yet.
Feb 08 20:37:19 <Md> there is no reason why it should not work
Feb 08 20:39:38 <cptkrf> I need to use it through a USB hub so I can have a hard drive also.   That setup works fine on my Debian boxes so I assume that it would on the sheeva.  If it is just a Linux supported system, it certainly should work.
Feb 08 20:40:04 <Md> it is
Feb 08 20:41:29 <cptkrf> Got a recommendation where to buy one?  I tried months ago when I first heard of it, but the few places I found had 4 and 6 months out of stock times.
Feb 08 20:44:12 <kerio> globalscale/newit
Feb 08 21:08:59 <Tootoot222> cptkrf: basically if it works with debian, it'll work on the plug; (the newer ones run debian stock). as for where to buy it, globalescale if you're in the US, newit if you're in europe
Feb 08 21:09:15 <Tootoot222> (europe or uk)
Feb 09 00:42:10 <cptkrf> Tootoot222:  Thanks
