- Usage cases for the Pogoplug 2.
- The advantages to having four USB ports on the 2nd-generation Pogoplug as opposed to the 1st-gen device which only had one USB port.

- Viewer Comment: Pogoplug sounds like a cool NAS when connected to a hard drive, and it's cool they have such a focus on Internet-based sharing.
- Viewer Comment: I've been using Back in Time since you recommended it. I noticed it does not backup hidden files by default, and wanted to share with your viewers how to resolve this so all your files (and folders) get backed up.

- Viewer Comment: I ran across an article on how to install the latest Sun Java JRE on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 and would like to share it with the community. (See link below).
- Viewer Question: What is a "bad sector"?
- Understanding what bad sectors are, how your drive attempts to work around them, and what kinds of problems can occur when a hard drive is reporting bad sectors.
- Viewer Comment: I have a dying hard drive and Ubuntu Karmic warned me.
