I received my SheevaPlug computer on Friday. Here are some pics of what I got: http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=830 I have noticed that there are several other companies now using this exact same model, and basically re-selling them as fancy NAS devices. Here is some more info on that: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9634061300.html (the list of similar products is near the bottom). I havn't really gotten a chance to put it through its paces yet, as I have been slowed down by trying to compile the uvcvideo module so that I can plug in a usb 2.0 web cam for testing some video-security applications I am working on. Since I'm ssh'd into it now, I will just cut and paste some stuff: root@debian:~# uname -a Linux debian 2.6.22.18 #1 Thu Mar 19 14:46:22 IST 2009 armv5tejl GNU/Linux root@debian:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo Processor : ARM926EJ-S rev 1 (v5l) BogoMIPS : 1192.75 Features : swp half thumb fastmult edsp CPU implementer : 0x56 CPU architecture: 5TE CPU variant : 0x2 CPU part : 0x131 CPU revision : 1 Cache type : write-back Cache clean : cp15 c7 ops Cache lockdown : format C Cache format : Harvard I size : 16384 I assoc : 4 I line length : 32 I sets : 128 D size : 16384 D assoc : 4 D line length : 32 D sets : 128 Hardware : Feroceon-KW Revision : 0000 Serial : 0000000000000000 root@debian:~# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00400000 00020000 "uImage" mtd1: 1fb00000 00020000 "rootfs" root@debian:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 507M 329M 179M 65% / tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /lib/init/rw varrun 252M 36K 252M 1% /var/run varlock 252M 0 252M 0% /var/lock udev 252M 8.0K 252M 1% /dev tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /var/cache/apt (Note that when I received the unit the FS was only about 23% full, I have since then installed kernel-source and other packages).
