I bought one of the original white brick pogoplugs a while back based on the 'we're open source friendly' hype. I wanted it for a low power home server running linux. I don't really care about, no actually, I don't *want* the web access functionality offered by the company. Now that I'm finally getting around to trying to use it I am really disappointed to find that Cloud Engines is purposefully limiting and restricting the ability of the open source community to adopt these devices and adapt them to other needs by not allowing the boot process to be modified to allow the installation of updated versions of software to run. Looks like I may now have a $100 paper weight :( OK, this is an old post but here is a new comment.

Then I went to the site and dug in a little deeper. Being a Canadian, the $50+ for shipping killed the deal for me. Hopefully someday this device (or an alternative) will make it to more mainstream sales channels. After reading up on this device, I was absolutely convinced it was worth the $100.
