$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('aerotoad', 'J')ust curious what other people are doing with their Plugs. I have three Dockstars, filling various niches around my home. I won't claim the "biggest dork" award quite yet, but I wanted to share my setup.
..............
I set up a FreePBX/Asterisk voip server on Lenny. It can also be done using Squeeze but seems Lenny uses less RAM. It works very well and stable as a GV-Sipgate PBX for dial out. It can be used for other voip services as well but I don't use it right now.
I am also using another Dockstar as my (simple) home web server and it works fine.

3) Dockstar running Debian Lenny as a lightweight terminal. Hooked up a iMo USB display (ulfdb drivers work like a charm), along with wireless mouse and keyboard. I can run lightweight apps like conky, adesklets, openbox, and xterm, but Firefox is understandably slow. However, as a rdesktop or VNC client, it's perfect. Enterprising individual could use USB over IP to setup a remote docking station to another machine (

I would like set up something similar. Mainly not for connect to a monitor but for remote login using VNC. Can you outline what are needed and how to install or pointing me to some reading? Where I can find Firefox for it and if Chrome is available as well? Thanks in advance for your help.
