Alright, I followed this tutorial http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hack...nd-mobile.html To install linux on my Pogoplug v4 but when I restarted it just blinked green forever and nothing happened. I figured the OS did not install onto the flash drive and I was correct. I followed these instructions http://archlinuxarm.org/support/reinstallation and formatted the drive, got the correct Arch linux distro and put it on there, then put the drive back into the Pogoplug.
Success! Green light turned steady and the flash drive light flashed. After a few seconds it settled down but occasionally will access the flash drive (indicated by blinking USB light). Only problem is I cannot SSH into the pogoplug anymore. It has an IP address from the router. The router says its attached. But, when I use Putty to SSH into that address I get “Connection refused”
I know this is simple but I am very new to linux.
Thank you

How big is the partition you installed Arch on? I assume you tried rebooting ?

1 gig is pretty small. Its possible that it won't let you in because there is no space left on the drive. How much free space was there when you set it up?

I had already wiped the stick so I am not sure. I tried putting the other Kirkwood image onto an 8 gig flash drive but the Pogoplug just blinked green for a while before turning red and starting over. I suppose I'll go back to the first Kirkwood image and try it with the larger flash drive.
This is quite frustrating. I grew up with Windows (95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8) and learning Linux is like learning to walk again with different legs. I know the power of linux and I want to learn, its just very VERY frustrating.
