I run a sheevaplug as my personal freedombox for some time now. It is<br>
installed with Debian squeeze and runs all the services I need (web, dns,<br>
mail, groupware, tor, nfs) In general it runs great, it only gets warm not hot<br>
when running and I didn't have any problems with it so far.<br>
<br>
I see two main problems with the device. The internal memory is pretty small<br>
and even if the freedombox software fits within 512 MB when it's released, you<br>
won't have much space left to install additional software or store data.<br>
Installing the OS on a SD card is possible but read/write performance could be<br>
much better so you probably wouldn't want to store much data here either. The<br>
second one is that the power supply seems to be too week to power exernal hard<br>
drives over USB and would break eventually. I didn't want to try that one but<br>
there are many reports in the forums about that. I worked around that issue by<br>
using an additional USB power supply.<br>
<br>
One thing you might also want to keep an eye on for freedom box hardware is<br>
the DreamPlug[1] which seems to be an overall improved and extended version of<br>
the sheevaplug.<br>
<br>
