Yes the guru/ultraplug is meant as a full featured dev machine and has  
more flash and ram, the pogoplug is meant to be a cheap limited  
embedded machine that you arent supposed to pull apart.. but for 25  
bucks it is hard NOT to. :)

The pogoplugs depending on the version, can ship with an oxnas armv6  
processor though which is different then the guru/ultra plugs.  
Supposedly there are some proprietary driver issues, according to the  
archlinux site.
