Sheeva or Guru or Dream or OpenRD

Howdy from a new member to the PlugPBX forum!

I recently discovered the Plug devices and am very excited about trying one out for Home Network services (dns, dhcp, vpn) as well as for PBX.

I currently run PBXinaFlash on an old Intel.  Wondering if anyone has attempted to run PBXinaFlash on anyone of the "Plug" devices such as sheeva, guru, dream or OpenRD.  I don't think PBXinaFlash would work well (without swapping) as I see typical memory consumption to be 0.8 gigabytes and the Plug devices have 512MB.

Also, since PlugPBX seems to be optimzed for the Plug devices, I am thinking of getting a DreamPlug but am wondering if anyone has PlugPBX running/working "flawlessly".  Any gotches, etc.?  I did see that Debian distro is supported on DreamPlug to boot/run from the SD.  But other than that, I have not been able to find much information on the PlugPBX + DreamPlug.

Any thoughts, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had PBXinaflash running on a VM with 512M ram with no problems at all. Did you have IAX2 enabled? Apparently some people had problems with that taking up a lot of RAM even when not being used. As to running on these devices, no idea yet, I only stumbled across this site today

PBX in a flash is pretty neat, the thing has practically everything imaginable built in.... I just found that I wanted a capable phone system with what FreePBX could do out of box, and I didn't care for all that other stuff. Someone suggested I make my first stab available online - and here we are 2 years later.  I used to put Asterisk on my Debian based NAS (old Buffalo NAS) with an impressive 128 meg ram and 400mhz CPU, running around 15 services....it took it (barely) har har.

Sheeva is a great lazy mans embedded platform, tons of ram and CPU power, jtag and serial console over USB so you can debrick it if you really screw up...
