Noob here!
Actually ran a linux puter for quite a while back at the turn of the century but was eventually forced back into the doze zone because of work related software requirements. I miss the stability and the ability to customize that i had with that old fedora o.s. that's for sure. I have an Intel based macbook that I should load up on linux, hmm. Just thinking out loud here and getting way off topic. :)
Came across ARM because i was looking for a dlna/samba server with usb ports for flexibility and portability. (I like to take my video drive with me to share) I already have a NAS but it doesn't have usb ports and didn't want to shell out the bucks for another one just to have usb ports. So, whilst I was shopping I happened upon a reviewer on amazon that buys pogoplugs just to hack them and do exactly what i was wanting. I already have a pogoplug, but it is the portable v4 and, as near as I can tell, it is severely hamstrung in the ARM world do to 1 usb port and 1 card slot. Would it even load on the portable box if I wanted to?
I guess that is my question here. Do I need to upgrade to the serial pogoplug v4 before I even think about loading ARM?
Looking forward to messing with something new and challenging. It will be nice to get out of the doze zone. Who knows, maybe I will get the whole home back on Linux!
Thanks for any input and Howdy from Wyoming!
