I'm ambivalent to the Globalscale Dreamplug. I purchased one, and was VERY pleased that it came with Debian already pre-installed. But I was greatly concerned from the beginning at how hot it runs, so I have been careful to keep it well-ventilated. About two months of putting it into service, it started OOPSing with command timeouts from the internal SD card. And they got progressively quicker as time marched on. The thing is basically unusable after three months. I don't know if this issue is heat-related, but I can't help but wonder. Especially since the system boots and runs fine when it's cool, and I haven't seen any OOPSes until things are fairly well heat-soaked and I'm leaning on the filesystem (apt-get update, etc.). Have raised the issue with Globalscale support, still awaiting a response. In the big picture, I've got lots of examples of hardware here that isn't commercially available, but could do the job AND doesn't run hot to the touch. I don't understand why this device (and just about every other Marvell chip I have ever encountered) has to kick out so much heat. b.g. -- Bill Gatliff b...@billgatliff.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
