GuruPlug is a compact and low power Linux Plug computer. It is intended to be a device that could act as a web server, a printing server or any other network service. It has local storage in NAND Flash, but also offers USB ports and a Serial ATA port to connect external disks. GuruPlug has no moving parts such as fans, as a result both power consumption and noise level are typically lower compared to desktop PC's.

In the area of small and low power computing, SheevaPlug is also mentioned as its predecessor.
