HD200: What Is It Inside The Box?
This is a totally gratuitous question - no practical application whatsoever for the answer, but it's been in the back of my mind since day 1.
What's inside that little black box? A Linux system running PlaceShifter or Client? Is the mobo Sage-specific or off-the-shelf? Maybe something from VIA?

The review doesn't say if it's linux (my guess) inside or FreeBSD (preferred) though.
EDIT: I guess it does say, sort of: "Logging in to the box For those of you interested in digging into the embedded linux running the HD200, you can telnet into the HD200 with something like Putty to access the directories. Just log in as 'root' with no password." Root with no password is definately linux ![]() Last edited by S_M_E; 02-23-2009 at 09:43 AM. |

I felt a little validation when they talked about the blinking network activity light. My time from powering up my first HD200 to covering said light with a piece of black electrical tape was about 27 seconds... -) Also, from the writeup's context and somebody elses' post, it's starting to dawn on me that if I want to buy either PlaceShifter or Client for one of my PCs, Client would be the low-load option and PlaceShifter would provide more functionality from outside of my home LAN. Does this ring true?
