I have a PogoplugPro and I want to install a Linux distro on it. However, none of the tutorials I have found cover the model I have:

Model: POGOPLUG PRO
BusyBox v1.16.1 (2010-11-30 12:06:37 PST) multi-call binary.
uname -a
    Linux PogoplugPro 2.6.31.6_SMP_820 #96 SMP Tue Feb 8 10:06:27 PST 2011 armv6l GNU/Linux

I have tried optware but I want to boot a "real" distro, replacing the on-board OS.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

After looking at a few forum posts I convinced myself that ArchLinux ARM(archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3) was the right thing to try even though the exact model is not listed on the website. I gave it a try and it almost worked the first time. The only problem I had was with the USB drive I was using didn't format properly so I had to put it on another Linux box I have and reload it which was not too bad at all. Thanks ArchLinux. – M Smith Sep 26 '12 at 4:26
I rebooted the Pogoplug and now it does not boot. I did do some package management using pacman including doing an upgrade that had some errors. I will reinstall the software and try again. – M Smith Sep 26 '12 at 18:03
