Arch is an OS option on Pogoplug??

I just did a swift search of the forums after catching this on Lifehacker. (It's a couple days old, I was catching up after the weekend.)

Lifehacker Article

About half way through it, I noticed the update command... pacman! Am I just late to the party, or did PogoPlug port Arch?

SSH back in again, because there are a few more things we'll want to do. First, update your Plugbox's packages:

pacman -Syu

You may need to run this a couple of times because pacman, itself, may need an update. Once pacman's done, you'll want to do a couple of other things.


I keep getting distracted from my webserver project...

huh? oooh...  shiny!

Pacman is not Arch and Arch is not Pacman. There's a discussion in one of the Pacman threads around here about how Pacman can't have AUR support because it can't contain distro-specific code.

Speaking of Arch on some form of plug, some people are looking into it but there's no progress yet.

Did you read the link karol gave?

"Plugbox Linux is based on Arch Linux so you can utilize the power of the Arch Linux Wiki".

There is a topic around on Arch on ARM. Someone ported Arch to ARM, not just pacman wink.
