Warning: do not order a SheevaPlug from GlobalScale Technologies.
I ordered a SheevaPlug Dev Kit from GlobalScale Technologies on 12/12/2009. It still hasn't been shipped. It seems they can not complete their orders.
However, the PC Plug by Marvell seems to be a really cool concept and has many great reviews.

This mini-PC comes with a Linux OS and has many applications including file sharing (just plug it into the HDD of your choice and load it with whatever). It looks a lot like a "wall-wart" and uses considerably less electricity than using your PC for the same use.
Just don't buy it from GlobalScale Technologies as they do not seem to be able to fill their orders. I do not appear to be the only person with grievances against GlobalScale Technologies ...
