It is +not a Linux distribution. It is a network appliance that depends on a +series of Debian packages that configure a plug computer to behave as +a Freedom Plug. + +### What is Plinth? + +Plinth is the web-based GUI administration front end for the Freedom Plug. + +### On what hardware is the Freedom Plug based? + +The current targets are the [Guru Plug](http://guruplug) and the +[Dream Plug](http://dreamplug). + +## Accessing the Freedom Plug + +### Why does ssh listen on port 2222 instead of 22? + +If ssh listens on port 2222, bots and scripts will forever attempt to +guess your username and password. Maybe your password isn't so +strong. Maybe the bots get lucky. Either way, if you allow ssh +access on port 22, you're taking a chance that can be avoided quite +easily by moving your ssh activity to a slightly more obscure port. + +Because ssh activity on these boxes will be limited to programs +configured to work specifically with Freedom Plugs as well relatively +few people generally using ssh, the coordination necessary to use a +non-standard port is easily achieved. + |
