I always struggle to figure out how the average guy could use these plug computers at home. For example, my Debian home server died. It was a P2 with 128MB RAM (maybe 256) and a 40GB drive. It was all I needed for a file, mail and print server.<br><br>Would one of these plug computers be a good replacement? I love the small size and the low power consumption. Could I add an external drive and configure the unit for a similar server as before? Or is this the wrong application altogether?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>John.<br><br>> Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 08:59:35 -0500<br>> Subject: [TLUG]: DreamPlug plug computer<br>> From: gilesorr-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org<br>> To: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4@public.gmane.org<br>> <br>> (from Slashdot)<br>> We've discussed Plug computers in the past, and this one looks marvelous:<br>> <br>> http://www.thinq.co.uk/2011/2/1/new-it-announces-dreamplug-arm-box/<br>> <br>> Assuming it's released over here, I think I may finally have found the<br>> plug computer I want.
