# Plinth and Freedom Plug FAQ
|
|
|
|
## General Questions
|
|
|
|
### What is the Freedom Plug?
|
|
|
|
The Freedom Plug is .... insert links...
|
|
|
|
The Freedom Plug is based on the GNU/Debian operating system. It is
|
|
not a Linux distribution. It is a network appliance that depends on a
|
|
series of Debian packages that configure a plug computer to behave as
|
|
a Freedom Plug.
|
|
|
|
### What is Plinth?
|
|
|
|
Plinth is the web-based GUI administration front end for the Freedom Plug.
|
|
|
|
### On what hardware is the Freedom Plug based?
|
|
|
|
The current targets are the [Guru Plug](http://guruplug) and the
|
|
[Dream Plug](http://dreamplug).
|
|
|
|
## Accessing the Freedom Plug
|
|
|
|
### Why does ssh listen on port 2222 instead of 22?
|
|
|
|
If ssh listens on port 2222, bots and scripts will forever attempt to
|
|
guess your username and password. Maybe your password isn't so
|
|
strong. Maybe the bots get lucky. Either way, if you allow ssh
|
|
access on port 22, you're taking a chance that can be avoided quite
|
|
easily by moving your ssh activity to a slightly more obscure port.
|
|
|
|
Because ssh activity on these boxes will be limited to programs
|
|
configured to work specifically with Freedom Plugs as well relatively
|
|
few people generally using ssh, the coordination necessary to use a
|
|
non-standard port is easily achieved.
