Thanks for the feedback everybody. I'll probably evaluate more than one of the suggested options and settle on one that fits best.
Just the idea that viable options exist is comforting since the slug has become an important part of my home setup and a serious geek hobby to boot

Howdy,
I have setup a few of the Pogo-E02 models and they work pretty well.
I actually bought my first Pogoplug just after I bought my first
Slug. I never got arounf to setting up the slug. The Model 4
Pogoplug only has 128 meg of ram. The Pogo-E02 has 256 meg. The
Model 4 is a bit smaller and uses an external power supply. The
Pogo-E02 has an internal power supply and still is found for about
$25. Some of the model 4 units have built in wifi, which can be
handy.
Have fun,
Ralph
