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.
