Not very often you get a high end distro like Ubuntu 9.04
and a cheap embedded Linux developer system that is also
capable of running a high end distro.

The $99 Sheevaplug is very much it.

You get a mains adapter size box with a plug to
plug into mains. It has ethernet link, SDCard, USB
and a mini USB serial port.

Nothing else.

For the $99 one gets the cross-compiler development package, too,
in case one doesn't want to compile natively (gcc) on the Plug.
Note also the Ethernet is Gigabit.

Can connect USB devices such as HDs and thumb drives:



Gee... I wonder if I can get mosix running on this and finally have my very
own, cheap/affordable cluster!

Awesome!
