i am thinking of buying an open rd, so id thought to myself, since the guys at plucomputer dont want to answer me i try to find answers here.
1. how satisfied are u with the power consumption ? -compared to a shevaplug which only uses 5 watts. respectively how often will the openrd actually draw 27 watts ?
2. if u use the vga connector, do u get a x init5 picture of ubuntu ? -so u dont need to "http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7045259&postcount=55"
3. do i get this right that i can connect an sata internal ?
4. since i dont know much about ubuntu, and need howtos to guide me around, would you recommend the openrd ? i plan to use it for nas, torrent, email & as time goes by whatever i manage to let it do for my lan (icals and other stuff)
thanx in advance & sorry for bugging you.
