Trying to Create My Own NAS Device Using FreeNAS


First I went to the http://www.pogoplugged.com/ site.  This is a wonderful company working in open source.  They have a wonderful little device you can see here call the Pogoplug.  It is a multimedia sharing device.  I would love to buy one.  At only $107 it is a real bargain.  The link to buy it is here.  Please buy, I want to see this company around for a long.

I would buy one from them myself.  However, I really can't spare the hundred dollars right now, so I am going to try to create my own with an old machine.  It will also be some good experience.  This is the article I am following to install.  I would like to also experiment with building USB drive.

How to Install Pogoplug Drive on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx


It some time has gone by, than you can get to Linux driver by selecting the download tab and select Linux.  That will get you to the down load for the Linux Pogoplug drive.  It is cool.  This thing is really a drive with a lot of features. 

OK, I think this is a drive for connecting to a Pogo device, not for creating a Pogo device.  I think I need to create the openpogo base system on a USB drive.
