Comment on Hard drive hack provides root access, even after reinstallparent

Comments

The Feroceon CPUs are pretty hefty too. They're powering the Marvell Kirkwood platform which is used in things like the Sheevaplug and some of the QNAP TS-* NAS devices. Debian runs great on those. (2.0ghz CPU, 512mb ram). Probably the biggest trouble here is the lack of an MMU (?) .

uclinux can run on mmu-less systems, so I do suspect you can run Linux on this hard drive.
