Getting started with a new SheevaPlug

[John Winters <john@sinodun.org.uk>]

I've just received a SheevaPlug freshly delivered and obviously I didn't
read any of the instructions before powering it up.

I'm slightly puzzled.  I connect the USB lead to another box, fire up a
connection over ttyUSB0 and am immediately presented with a login which
says:

Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) debian ttyS0

debian login:


I wasn't expecting to find Ubuntu pre-installed.  I've had a little hunt
to see if I can find the login information, but without luck so far.

Is it normal for these to come with a booting Ubuntu system pre-installed?

TIA,
John
