Sakis3G on GuruPlug
GuruPlug server seems like a nice one example for illustrating how much useful Sakis3G script can be on places where size-does-matter.
GuruPlug comes pre-installed with Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (aka. "Lenny") on its 512MB SSD. Within that little space there is no room for a graphical environment nor for usual NetworkManager/modemmanager bundle (after all, there is no display adapter at all). However, it is already pre-installed with anything required for running Sakis3G script: there is no need for installing anything more.
