Re: [PLUG] Guruplug


I read that article awhile ago. I believe the heat problem has been
corrected and is noted on the site. I also read another writeup where a
user is using it as a mail and web server with no apparent problems. I
guess you can't expect it to be equiv. to a quad processor PC but it is 8
times or more faster than the 'turboed' NSLU2.
