it runs the folllowing:
- DHCP
- DNS
- Web server (apache and ajaxplorer and owncloud)b 2
- NAS (nfs and samba)
- UPNP server for music and videos (mediatomb and ampache)
- Homeautomation server (HomeAutomation & Telldus tellstick)
- Torrent server (transmission)
- Wakes up the Masterbackend on demand
None of these are very intensive and run happily on the pogoplug which
draws only 4W + a usb hard disk.
