I saw this on another mailing list and immediately ordered one.

Today woot.com is selling the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar Network Adapter 
(STDSA10G-RK) for $25 including shipping. It has a 1.2GHz ARM CPU, 128MB 
of RAM, one gigabit ethernet port, and three powered USB 2.0 port. It 
ships with the pogoplug firmware but that can be replaced with the linux 
of your choice.

Buy it at
