All the instructions that I find for Debian on Sheevaplug assume
that the plug, as purchased, has Ubuntu on it.  The one that I just
bought from Globalscale comes with Debian 5.0.3 (Lenny) pre-installed.

Is the pre-installed Debian, unlike the Ubuntu they used to ship,
fully functional as is?

Is it safe to upgrade to Squeeze by the normal Debian process?

Thanks,

Jack
