I recently got this great device i was lusting for a long long time... some of you know about it already... here it goes for the rest...
MY PLUG : http://dheerajjotwani.dyndns.org:10001/
The TonidoPlug is a low-power home server that runs the open-source Tondio software that runs Linux and stays on 24/7. The TonidoPlug is powered by a 1.2GHz Sheeva ARM processor and at the heart of the Tonido stack is an Ubuntu Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) and shipping by default atop this Tonido stack are applications for torrents, photos, music, web sharing, a personal information manager, a private blog, search, and backup support. Other Tonido applications can also be easily installed. When a USB storage device is attached, the TonidoPlug additionally serves as a NAS.
CodeLathe is the company behind the TonidoPlug that measures in at 4 x 2.5 x 2 inches. Beyond the 1.2GHz Sheeva ARM CPU there is 512MB of DDR2 memory and 512MB of flash storage. For connectivity there is USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet support. The official highlights from CodeLathe for this device include:
- Energy efficient green device
- Convert your USB drive to Network Attached Storage accessible as a networked drive
- Access your TonidoPlug using own URL
- Share and sync files, photos and music without uploading
- Drag-and-Drop file and folder uploading to your TonidoPlug from Windows, Linux, OSX from remote locations via WebDAV
- Listen to your MP3s from anywhere
- Download Torrents to your USB drive from anywhere
- Search and download your files
- Manage your calendar, contacts, and tasks
- Keep a personal blog, capture and store web snippets
- Automatic or Manual Backup of all your computers to TonidoPlug
- Stream media to the XBox 360 and PS3
- Access and share files using an iPhone-specific Tonido web app
- Extend your TonidoPlug with new apps from Tonido App store
The TonidoPlug itself is white and printed on the front is a small Tonido logo. On the left-side face of this Marvell ShevaPlug are two LED indicators for showing the system's status. On the bottom of the device is the Gigabit Ethernet connection along with the lone USB 2.0 connector. Removing the power connector so that the AC power cable could be used required a bit of force, but after that, it was easy to connect the power cable and easily set this ARM computer on a shelf.
Setting up the TonidoPlug was very easy to do. After hooking it up and accessing www.tonidoplug.com/id showed plug on my network. from there on it was just a basic GUI based setup of a username and password. The Tonido software is very easy to configure, there is an app store for easily installing new components, and CodeLathe does allow you to SSH into the device (with root) support for additional configuring and tweaking atop the Ubuntu 9.04 software. The beauty is its simple out of the box functionality for the noobest of the noobs (me included).
