Just to inform NSLU2 people that there is a new kid in town:
Sheevaplug (pogoplug having probably near-identical hardware), comparison by none other than Martin Michlmayr:
* Marvell Kirkwood 6281 CPU at 1.2 GHz with 256 KB L2 cache (compared to a 266 MHz CPU)
* 512 MB RAM (compared to lousy 32 MB)
* 512 MB flash, enough for a basic Debian installation (compared to 8 MB)
* Gigabit Ethernet (compared to 100 Mb) and no proprietary microcode required
* 1x USB and 1x SD (compared to 2x USB: the only advantage the NSLU2 has)
* ... and finally: mini-USB with serial console and JTAG: while Debian on the NSLU2 works well and is stable, we regularly had users whose system would no longer boot and there was no good way to figure out why. The serial console on the SheevaPlug actually allows users to figure out what's going on.
All this for a measly 100$. If it really lives up to the expectations, this might very well a worthy replacement for the venerable NSLU2 (admittedly quite long in the tooth by now).
