OK, silence says a lot... I got it. I ended up just going to Debian ( a la JeffDoozan ) and using that setup. The modern kernel is great, lots of features available, plus easy to update.

Installing it was a snap, also.

TBH, I'd run the Debian installation at Doozan Forum. It was pretty painless.

The kernel (straight Debian, iirc) has pretty much all the bells and whistles. It runs great - once I got my connectivity problems solved (wireless USB stick now has PowerManagement turned off), it has been flawless.

A simple webcam is all you need ... I'm using a pretty basic Logitech webcam - can't remember the specs or model, but they are listed in the System Status/Info link near the bottom of my site.

(not knocking Pogoplug's native software - I _love_ it ... perfect for my normal home&work applications/uses ... but the Optware feed (not knocking it either, as I'm a contributor via the nslu2 dev group) is not in the same level as Debian. The kernel modules are essential, and I've never seen a package manager truly better that apt in Debian ... it is so easy to work with and Debian is so well supported/polished ... optware sometimes has a few rough edges ... but not having the kernel modules is a real show-stopper... it looks like we can only get this functionality by booting it into Debian (or ArchLinux for ARM), I guess...)
